“Unconfirmed reports that Russia used chemical weapons in the besieged Ukrainian city of Mariupol this week have brought back frightening memories for Syrians.
Syrian Network for Human Rights chairman Fadel Abdul Ghany said that Syria was a test, one that the international community failed.
We should always remember the red line committed [to] by Obama, the president of the US, when he repeatedly said the use of chemical weapons is a red line, he said, referring to the lack of response from the US after the massacre.
And then, when the Assad regime violated this red line, what happened? Nothing, actually, except condemnation via statement.”
