The European Union deplores the decision by the Syrian Court of Cassation to refuse the early release of Mr Michel Kilo and Mr Mahmoud Issa. Without wishing to pronounce on the legality of the procedure followed, the European Union calls for the immediate release of Mr Kilo and Mr Issa, sentenced to imprisonment merely for having called on the Syrian and Lebanese governments to normalise their relations and define their borders by signing the Damascus-Beirut, Beirut-Damascus declaration. |
