Rayburn calls on the US administration to hold the Assad regime accountable for its brutal practices against the Syrians
The former US envoy to Syria, Joel Rayburn, called on “Twitter”, in conjunction with the commemoration of the fourth anniversary of the chemical massacre in Khan Sheikhoun, the US administration to take urgent and harsh measures against the Assad regime.
Joel Rayborn called on the US administration to take immediate action to hold the Assad regime accountable for its brutal practices against the Syrians over the past years, especially the chemical use more than once.
Rayborn said: “Four years ago, Bashar al-Assad targeted the city of Khan Sheikhoun with sarin gas and killed 93 civilians. This bitter period reminds the whole world that the isolation of the Assad regime must continue until full accountability for all the atrocities suffered by the Syrian people at the hands of that regime is achieved.”
It is noteworthy that the city of Khan Sheikhoun, in the southern countryside of Idlib, was targeted by the Assad regime on April 4, 2017, with chemical weapons.
As a result, about 100 civilians, including women and children, were killed.
Edmund Moleh, head of the United Nations Joint Investigative Mechanism and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons for Syria, confirmed in November 2017 that the Assad regime was responsible for the Khan Sheikhoun chemical attack.
