Syrian opposition takes Syria seat at Arab League Summit

The leader of the Syrian opposition's National Coalition, Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, formally assumed the Syrian seat at the Arab League Summit on Tuesday, hailing it as "part of the restoration of legitimacy" that the Syiran people had "long been robbed of".

Incidentally, Khatib formally resigned as leader two days ago, however his resignation has been rejected by the National Coalition.

The Assad regime responded by accusing the League of allowing "bandits and thugs" assume the seat.

 

The regime was suspended from the League in November 2011.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
