Moscow, SANA – Mother Superior of St. Jacob Convent Fadia al-Laham stressed that the international commission of inquiry on human rights in Syria is \u201cvery selective\u201d and not independent at all and as it follows certain political agendas.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, we sent a strong message to the committee and we stopped all our dealings with it because it benefits from our existence to justify its comprehensiveness\u2026It is not just in conveying the violations of human rights to the international community,\u201d Mother al-Lahham told SANA correspondent in Moscow.<\/p>\n
She added that the committee \u201chides many facts from the international community such as acts of sabotage in Adra industrial city and many other violations of human rights in the areas which are the strongholds of the armed terrorist organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said that a delegation from the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society and from St. Jacob Convent will head for Geneva carrying with it the \u201cWhite Book\u201d which confounds the draconian acts of the terrorist organizations against innocent victims in Syria and Iraq and the outrageous foreign interference in Syria\u2019s affairs in a way that creates and supports terrorism.<\/p>\n
Mother al-Lahham indicated that the \u201cWhite Book\u201d has been prepared in cooperation between St. Jacob Convent and the Imperial Society assisted by the related bodies.<\/p>\n
She said that her meeting with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov on Friday was in the framework of \u201cconsultations between him and the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society,\u201d adding \u201cwe tackled all projects carried out in Syria by the Society and St. Jacob Convent ..\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTalks also dealt with our activities, on top which our visit to Geneva for the fourth time,\u201d she said \u201ca delegation from the society will head for Damascus to collect as much information as possible to expand the book.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a relevant context, in a press conference held in Moscow, Mother Fadia al-Laham called upon Russia as a major country to enhance the cultural and humanitarian diversity and protect the Christians in the East as they are suffering from \u201cthe barbarian terrorist invasion of their areas.\u201d<\/p>\n
She thanked Bogdanov for the efforts he exerts to achieve an honorable inter-Syrian peace, saying \u201d Russia has never interfered in Syria, but it has always been calling for halting violence in it and it has always affirmed that the Syrian people only can determine their fate\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been living a peaceful and dignified life in Syria, and we haven\u2019t felt of any violation of our rights till the appearance of the so-called \u2018Arab Spring\u2019 which they want us to accept without any discussion, yet it brought to us a barbarian and bloody dangerous war,\u201d Mother al-Laham said.<\/p>\n
She wondered how the Western countries claim that they are fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria \u201d ISIS\u201d while at the same time they are the ones who have created and financed it in cooperation with some Arab countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter three years of war against Syria, what the foreign interference has brought to us?… now we feel of danger while in the past we were enjoying a life of solidarity and common culture\u2026 today they impose on us isolation, division and killing\u2026Terrorists want us to pay Jizya \u201ctribute\u201d for being Christians or to leave the country,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n
She talked about the violations perpetrated by terrorists against women as they rape them and sell them in the slaves markets, indicating that the terrorists also prevented children from studying in many areas which are under their control and many contagious diseases have spread in these areas.<\/p>\n
She criticized some TV channels such as al-Jazeera, CNN and France 24 who depict terrorists as heroes in a time when they came from more than 100 countries of the world to Syria destroy the mosques and churches and to commit the most obnoxious acts of sabotage.<\/p>\n
Earlier on Friday, Bogdanov discussed with mother al-Laham in Moscow the situation in Syria and the region focusing on the humanitarian scene and the situation of the displaced Syrians in Lebanon, Syria and Turkey.<\/p>\n
