Damascus-Sana
The masks of defending freedoms and the right to express opinion that the West hides behind in the face of the end of interests are falling, as the democracy that France boasts of possessing is lame. The repression of journalists and demonstrators condemned by a security law that aims to silence the mouths and restrict the basic rights of the French is just another example of the double standard policy that it follows. Paris, along with Western capitals, flaunt the slogans of protecting human rights and freedom of the press to serve its political agendas in other countries such as Syria.
The way in which France deals with the demonstrations rejecting the "comprehensive security" law that imposes restrictions on freedoms and prevents the display of violations committed by the French police reveals the hypocrisy of Paris in particular and the West in general in talking about freedoms and empty slogans that they sing about when targeting countries that refuse to submit to their dictates. .
The assaults carried out by the French police against the protesters and against the media refute their slogans in which they talk about supporting freedoms ... and the police forces ’assault on a photographer from the terrorist“ White Helmets ”while covering the demonstrations in Paris, came after the task entrusted to him in fabricating news and pictures and fabricating them for the benefit of the French authorities What is happening in Syria turned into an enemy of those authorities.
The application of freedom of expression and human rights has always been a secondary matter to the West. The important thing was and will remain the targeting of certain countries for political, economic and other interests. Defending freedoms and seeking to know the facts is an open excuse that the West uses to achieve its goals. There are many prizes that Western and French organizations granted to terrorists who fabricated images and lies about what is happening in Syria. They prepared skits to distort the facts in the context of the hysteria of Western media misinformation about Syria and the attempts to legitimize terrorist organizations and cover up their crimes.
France's attempts to quell the demonstrations that are spreading in its streets in protest against the restriction of freedoms and mouths by various means of suppression and with complete disregard for international criticism about the abuses and attacks that occur against demonstrators and journalists exposes the double standards that Paris and the West have followed since the start of the terrorist war in Syria until now and bring to mind the scandals of the West. And his media, which for many years has used terrorists to distort facts, fabricate news and turn facts.
And the scandal that the German magazine Der Spiegel revealed in 2018, with one of its most prominent journalists, Claes Gelotius, who won a number of the most prominent press awards in the country, and it became clear later that most of his articles and media materials on Syria and other issues were invented stories created by his broad imagination, a clear example of role-play. Between the authority and the media in the West to target Syria.
The image of the child Imran, which was promoted by the Western media in 2016 and which was raised by the former representative of Washington in the United Nations in a farce aimed at distorting the image of the state and the Syrian Arab Army, is also a clear example of the hypocrisy of the West and its double standards.
The father of the child Imran revealed in 2017 the truth about the West’s trading in his son’s image, the threats and the financial offers he had received from them, and revealed the details of the lie made by the terrorist “White Helmets” and confirmed that a terrorist group had kidnapped his son from between his hands after he was injured in the Karm Al-Qatirji neighborhood in Aleppo and filmed in order to exploit these photos. And trading it through the hostile media.
In 2019, Newsweek newspaper refused to publish the investigation of the journalist working in it, Tariq Haddad, about the details of manipulation and fraud that took place through the OPCW survey. Important parts of the reports of its international experts in Syria are part of the exchange of political and media roles in the West in targeting other countries, including Syria.
France and other Western countries did not leave an occasion without demanding that Syria not attack their tools from the terrorist organizations, whom they call "moderate armed men," while Paris intends to suppress civilian protesters who legally refuse to silence and silence and exercise against them the most heinous operations of repression and beatings.
Western countries pay lip service to human rights is nothing but a big lie behind which decision-makers in these countries seek to achieve their interests, but the mask that covers the shame of this lie always falls at the slightest threat faced by the vaunts of democracy and the bearers of the false freedoms flag.
