SitiWanMahani -(RT. Published Sep 10, 2013)Pakar-pakar Antarabangsa mempunyai imej bukti kukuh mangsa kimia direka-reka - Moscow. Rakaman dan gambar-gambar serangan yang dikatakan kimia di Syria, di mana Amerika Syarikat menyebut sebagai sebabnya untuk campur tangan ketenteraan yang dirancang, telah dibentuk terlebih dahulu, penceramah sidang hak asasi manusia PBB di Geneva.
Ahli-ahli persidangan yang telah membentangkan akaun pakar antarabangsa, tokoh masyarakat Syria dan wartawan berita Rusia meliputi konflik Syria, yang menyokong pembangkang Rusia ke Amerika Syarikat merancang, Kementerian Luar Rusia berkata dalam satu kenyataan.
Penceramah berhujah bahawa yang disyaki serangan gas sarin berhampiran Damsyik pada 21 Ogos adalah mungkin satu provokasi daripada pasukan pemberontak dan bahawa tindakan ketenteraan terhadap kerajaan Presiden Bashar Assad mungkin akan mengakibatkan korban awam dan malapetaka kemanusiaan yang menyentuh seluruh rantau ini.
Serangan yang dilakukan oleh tentera Amerika Syarikat tanpa mandat Majlis Keselamatan PBB akan melanggar undang-undang antarabangsa dan harus dihalang oleh Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, katanya beberapa penceramah.
Bukti kes Rusia, termasuk laporan saksi hasil siasatan insiden senjata kimia oleh aktivis dan banyak, telah diserahkan kepada sebuah suruhanjaya pakar PBB menyelesaikan sesuatu krisis Syria, kata kementerian itu.
Pentadbiran Obama menyuarakan niat untuk menggunakan kuasa tentera di Syria selepas laporan kematian besar-besaran di Timur Houla, kejiranan Damsyik, yang mengorbankan lebih 1,400 orang menurut anggaran Amerika Syarikat. Washington berkata kematian disebabkan oleh serangan senjata kimia tentera Syria pada pasukan pemberontak dan berkata ia merancang untuk menggunakan kekerasan untuk menghalang kejadian itu pada masa depan.
Intl experts have strong proof images of chemical victims
fabricated – Moscow
Footage and photos of the alleged chemical attack in Syria, which the US cites as the reason for a planned military intervention, had been fabricated in advance, speakers told a UN human rights conference in Geneva.
Members of the conference were presented accounts of international experts, Syrian public figures and Russian news reporters covering the Syrian conflict, which back Russia’s opposition to the US plans, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The speakers argued that the suspected sarin gas attack near Damascus on August 21 was likely a provocation of the rebel forces and that a military action against the President Bashar Assad government will likely result in civilian casualties and a humanitarian catastrophe affecting the entire region.
The possible attack by US military without a UN Security Council mandate would violate international law and should be prevented by the United Nations, some of the speakers said.
Evidence for the Russian case, including numerous eyewitness reports and results of investigations of the chemical weapon incident by activists, was handed over to a UN commission of experts probing the Syrian crisis, the ministry said.
The Obama administration voiced an intention to use military force in Syria after reports of mass deaths in Eastern Houla, a neighborhood of Damascus, which killed more than 1,400 people according to US estimates. Washington says the deaths was due to a chemical weapons attack of the Syrian army on rebel forces and says it plans to use force to prevent such incidents in the future.

Rusia yakin bahawa kejadian kimia adalah satu provokasi oleh pasukan pemberontak, yang mencatatkan serangan bendera palsu untuk mengheret Amerika Syarikat ke dalam konflik dan mengambil kesempatan ke atas kerosakan yang tentera Syria mungkin bertahan dalam campur tangan Amerika.
Semakin bertambah laporan adalah sokongan kedudukan Rusia, dengan saksi tempatan, Amerika Syarikat dan profesional formerintelligence British dan Eropah baru-baru ini yang dibebaskan daripada tahanan pemberontak semua bercakap untuk senario provokasi.
Dalam perkembangan terbaru minggu ini cara yang mungkin untuk meningkat ketegangan telah disuarakan, yang akan melibatkan kerajaan Assad menyerahkan kawalan senjata kimia kepada masyarakat antarabangsa. Pelan ini disokong oleh Rusia, China dan Syria sekutu utama Iran, manakala Syria berkata ianya akan mengkaji semula.
Isyarat bercampur-campur mengenai rancangan itu datang dari Amerika Syarikat. Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat pada mulanya kata Setiausaha Negara John Kerry, yang pada mulanya menyuarakan senjata mungkin, melihat ia sebagai satu langkah yang retorik dan tidak menjangka Bashar Assad untuk benar-benar melucutkan senjata. Tetapi kemudian Presiden Obama berkata apa-apa langkah dari Damsyik akan membuat dia meletakkan pelan tindakan tentera pada jeda.
Sementara itu RT tahu bahawa pemberontak Syria mungkin merancang serangan senjata kimia di Israel. Serangan yang mungkin akan dilaksanakan dari wilayah kononnya dikawal oleh kerajaan Syria dan akan mencetuskan satu lagi pusingan peningkatan, meninggalkan harapan untuk meredakan ketegangan.
Russia is convinced that the chemical incident was a provocation by rebel forces, which staged a false flag attack to drag the US into the conflict and capitalize on the damage that the Syrian army is likely to sustain in the American intervention.
An increasing number of reports is backing Russia’s position, with local witnesses, US and British former intelligence professionals and Europeans recently released from rebel captivity all speaking for a provocation scenario.
In the latest development this week a possible way to de-escalate the tension was voiced, which would involve the Assad government handing over control of his chemical arsenal to the international community. The plan was backed by Russia, China and Syria's main ally Iran, while Syria said it will review it.
Mixed signals over the plan came from the US. The US State Department initially said Secretary of State John Kerry, who initially voiced a possible disarmament, saw it as a rhetorical move and didn’t expect Bashar Assad to actually disarm. But later President Obama said such a move from Damascus would make him put the military action plan on pause.
Meanwhile RT learned that Syrian rebels might be planning a chemical weapons attack in Israel. The possible attack would be carried out from the territory supposedly controlled by the Syrian government and would trigger another round of escalation, leaving little hope of defusing the tension.
Rusia bertujuan untuk mengubah Undang-undang Antarabangsa untuk mencegah suspek penjenayah mendapat status pelarian . .

SitiWanMahani -Rusia bertujuan untuk mengubah undang-undang Antarabangsa untuk mencegah suspek penjenayah mendapat status pelarian. Satu undang-undang Rusia atas mengguat kuasa telah berkata bahawa negara-negara yang memberikan perlindungan politik kepada suspek dalam jenayah serius telah melanggar hak-hak mangsa dan mendesak tindakan antarabangsa untuk mencegah kes-kes tersebut.
“Beberapa negara enggan untuk mengekstradisi suspek memetik kononnya motif politik, termasuk status orang ini pelarian. Kita berfikir bahawa keputusan tersebut tidak bercanggah dengan norma-norma undang-undang antarabangsa, menurut Konvensyen Hak Asasi Manusia tidak boleh digunakan jika terdapat alasan yang serius bagi menunjukkan bahawa bakal pelarian melakukan jenayah yang serius di luar negara perlindungan - pemberian dan sebelum mereka dibenarkan di dalamnya , “kata Timbalan Ketua Pendakwa Aleksandr Zvyagintsev persidangan pendakwa antarabangsa pada Selasa.
“Keputusan ini yang tidak berasas oleh negara-negara tertentu yang melanggar hak-hak mangsa jenayah ini,” katanya.
Pegawai itu berkata bahawa masalah menunjukkan bahawa peraturan undang-undang yang perlu diperbaiki di kedua-dua peringkat kebangsaan dan antarabangsa supaya permintaan suaka tidak dipenuhi secara automatik apabila terdapat penyerahan tuntutan.
Zvyagintsev juga memberitahu rakan-rakannya bahawa terdapat “banyak perkara-perkara pelik” dengan cara undang-undang perlindungan yang digunakan di peringkat antarabangsa. Beliau menyebut beberapa kes di mana negara-negara asing juga enggan permintaan Rusia untuk maklumat mengenai kawasan di mana status pelarian telah diberi kepada sesetengah orang, yang mendakwa maklumat itu ‘dikelaskan’.
Amalan itu tidak membenarkan pihak yang membuat penyerahan permintaan hendak mempertikaikan keputusan itu dan membuktikan bahawa ia adalah tidak berasas, katanya.
“Keadaan ini membolehkan suspek menggunakan memalsukan data untuk menerima status pelarian dan dengan itu mengelakkan tanggungjawab. Rusia telah menghadapi masalah ini banyak kali,” Kesimpulan Zvyagintsev.
Pada tahun 2012, Rusia menduduki tempat yang ke-7 dari segi permohonan suaka dibuat dengan Kesatuan Eropah dengan lebih 8,000 permohonan dibuat dalam tempoh 6 bulan pertama tahun ini sahaja. Kebanyakan pemohon adalah penduduk di wilayah bergolak di Caucasus Utara yang melarikan diri kerana kebimbangan ekonomi dan keselamatan.
Russia seeks to alter intl law to prevent criminal suspects
obtaining refugee status . . .
A top Russian law enforcer has said that countries which grant political asylum to suspects in serious crimes were violating the rights of victims and urged international action to prevent such cases.
“A number of states are refusing to extradite suspects citing so-called political motives, including the refugee status of these persons. We think that such decisions contradict the norms of international law, according to which the Human Rights Convention cannot be applied if there are serious grounds for suggesting that the would-be refugees committed a serious crime outside the asylum-granting country and before they were allowed in it,” Deputy Prosecutor General Aleksandr Zvyagintsev told the international prosecutors’ conference on Tuesday.
“These unfounded decisions by certain nations are violating the rights of the victims of these crimes,” he added.
The official noted that the problem indicates that the legal regulation must be improved both on national and international level so that asylum request is not fulfilled automatically when there are handover demands.
Zvyagintsev also told his colleagues that there were “a lot of strange things” in the way the asylum law is applied internationally. He mentioned several cases in which foreign nations even refused Russian requests for information about the grounds on which the refugee statuses were granted to some people, claiming the information was ‘classified’.
Such practice does not allow the side that makes the handover request to contest the decision and prove that it is unfounded, he stated.
“The situation allows the suspects to use falsified data to receive refugee status and thus evade the responsibility. Russia has encountered this problem many times,” Zvyagintsev concluded.
In 2012, Russia ranked seventh in terms of the asylum applications lodged with the European Union with over 8,000 applications lodged in the first six months of the year only. Most of the applicants are residents of restive provinces in the North Caucasus who flee because of economic and security concerns.

Sebagai orang cuba untuk mendapatkan dengan kehidupan mereka banyak yang mengatakan mereka tidak takut akan kemungkinan serangan tentera Amerika Syarikat.
“Mereka memasuki mana-mana negara menggunakan dusta senjata pemusnah dan kimia yang tidak terhad untuk menduduki kami, tetapi ini tidak akan memberi kesan kepada kami. Jika ada serangan kami akan bersedia untuk itu,” kata seorang pemegang gerai di pasaran di pusat bandar Damsyik .
Satu lagi bercakap secara langsung kepada rakyat Amerika: “Kami menyeru kepada pemimpin-pemimpin Amerika untuk mendengar kepada suara rakyat Amerika, kerana kami yakin mereka tidak mahu untuk menyerang Syria - bukan negara dengan tamadun 7,000 tahun Kami menyeru. Amerika berdiri menentang serangan tentera.”
“Obama tidak akan memenangi kelulusan daripada Kongres Amerika Syarikat. Akhirnya ia akan dibawa ke Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu dan Majlis Keselamatan untuk menyelesaikan,” adalah pendapat dari penjual akhbar.

The mood on the streets of Damascus is one of tense defiance. As people try to get on with their lives many say they are not afraid of possible US military strikes.
"They enter any country using the lie of unlimited destructive and chemical weapons in order to occupy us, but this will not affect us. If there is a strike we will be ready for it," said one stall holder in a market in central Damascus.
Another spoke directly to the American people: "We call on the American leaders to listen to the American people, because we are sure they don't want to attack Syria - not a country with a 7,000-year-old civilisation. We call on the Americans to stand up against a military strike."
"Obama won't win approval from the US Congress. Ultimately it will be taken to the United Nations and to the Security Council to resolve," was the opinion of a newspaper seller.

Serangan
Kimia Adalah Provokasi Pemberontak,
kata bekas tawanan . . .

SitiWanMahani - (RT. Published September
10, 2013)Serangan kimia adalah provokasi pemberontak, kata bekas tawanan. Guru Pierre Piccinin Belgium dan Itali wartawan Domenico Quiric, kedua-duanya telah diculik dan dijadikan tebusan selama beberapa bulan di Syria, berkata, mereka terdengar dalam pertukaran antara menangkap mereka yang pemberontak di belakang serangan kimia baru-baru ini. .
Dalam beberapa temu bual kepada berita Eropah ‘news outlets’, bekas tebusan berkata, mereka terdengar perbualan Skype bahasa Inggeris antara yang menangkap mereka dan orang-orang lain yang mencadangkan ia adalah pasukan pemberontak - bukan kerajaan - bahawa senjata kimia yang digunakan pada penduduk awam Syria 21 Ogos dalam bulan serangan berhampiran Damsyik.
“Ia adalah satu tanggungjawab moral untuk mengatakan ini. Kerajaan Bashar Al ‘Assad tidak menggunakan gas sarin atau lain-lain jenis gas di pinggir Damsyik, “kata Piccinin dalam satu temu bual dengan stesen radio RTL Belgium.
Piccinin menegaskan bahawa ketika sedang ditahan, beliau dan rakan-rakan banduan Quirico adalah terpencil dari DUNIA luar dan tidak tahu bahawa senjata kimia telah digunakan. Tetapi perbualan yang kedua-dua lelaki terdengar mencadangkan bahawa penggunaan senjata adalah satu langkah strategik oleh pembangkang, yang bertujuan untuk mendapatkan Barat untuk campur tangan.
“Dalam perbualan ini, mereka berkata bahawa serangan gas di 2 kawasan kejiranan Damsyik telah dilancarkan oleh pemberontak sebagai satu provokasi untuk memimpin Barat untuk campur tangan ketenteraan,” Quirico memberitahu La Stampa Itali. “Kami menyedari bahawa segala-galanya yang berlaku semasa kami ditahan di Syria, dan dengan itu juga dengan serangan gas di Damsyik.”
Ketika menyatakan bahawa pemberontak yang paling mungkin dibesar-besarkan kemalangan itu dalam kematian, wartawan Itali menegaskan bahawa beliau tidak dapat memberi jaminan sama ada “perbualan itu adalah berdasarkan fakta-fakta sebenar”. Bagaimanapun, beliau berkata, salah satu daripada 3 orang dalam perbualan yang dikatakan itu memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai General Free Syrian Army, La Stampa melaporkan.
Berdasarkan apa yang kedua-dua lelaki telah belajar, Peccinin RTL memberitahu bahawa ia akan menjadi “Gila dan membunuh diri bagi Barat untuk menyokong orang-orang ini.”
“Ia saya sakit untuk mengatakan ia kerana saya penyokong sengit Free Syrian Army dalam perjuangan yang sah untuk demokrasi sejak 2012, “tambah Piccinin.
Chemical attack was rebel provocation, former captives say
Belgian teacher Pierre Piccinin and Italian journalist Domenico Quiric, both of whom were abducted and held hostage for several months in Syria, said they overheard in an exchange between their captors that rebels were behind the recent chemical attack.
In a number of interviews to European news outlets, the former hostages said they overheard an English-language Skype conversation between their captors and other men which suggested it was rebel forces – not the government - that used chemical weapons on Syria’s civilian population in an August 21 attack near Damascus.
“It is a moral duty to say this. The government of Bashar al-Assad did not use sarin gas or other types of gas in the outskirts of Damascus,” Piccinin said during an interview with Belgium's RTL radio station.
Piccinin stressed that while being held captive, he and fellow prisoner Quirico were secluded from the outside world and had no idea that chemical weapons were deployed. But the conversation which both men overheard suggested that the use of the weapons was a strategic move by the opposition, aimed at getting the West to intervene.
"In this conversation, they said that the gas attack on two neighborhoods of Damascus was launched by the rebels as a provocation to lead the West to intervene militarily,” Quirico told Italy’s La Stampa. "We were unaware of everything that was going on during our detention in Syria, and therefore also with the gas attack in Damascus."
While stating that the rebels most likely exaggerated the accident’s death toll, the Italian journalist stressed that he could not vouch whether “the conversation was based on real facts." However, he said that one of the three people in the alleged conversation identified himself as a Free Syrian Army general, La Stampa reported.
Based on what both men have learned, Peccinin told RTL that it would be “insane and suicidal for the West to support these people.”
“It pains me to say it because I've been a fierce supporter of the Free Syrian Army in its rightful fight for democracy since 2012," Piccinin added.

Quirico seolah-olah bersetuju dengan penilaian Peccini ini.
“Saya amat terkejut bahawa Amerika Syarikat boleh berfikir berselang, mengetahui dengan baik bagaimana revolusi Syria telah menjadi jihadism antarabangsa - dalam erti kata lain Al ‘Qaeda ,” kata Quirico, seperti yang dipetik oleh Itali Quotidiano Nazionale.
La Stampa wartawan 62-tahun percaya bahawa radikal kumpulan-kumpulan Islam yang beroperasi di Syria untuk menggulingkan Assad “mahu mewujudkan khalifah dan melanjutkan ke seluruh Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara.”
Dalam beberapa penampilan berita, kedua-dua Quirico dan Piccinin berkongsi kisah bagaimana mereka tertakluk kepada 2 hukuman olok-olok, dipukul, dan kebuluran semasa mereka ditawan 5 bulan.
“Ini telah menjadi bulan yang sangat sukar. Kami telah dipukul setiap hari, kami mengalami 2 hukuman mati olok-olok ,” Quirico kepada pemberita selepas tiba di Rome, AFP melaporkan.
Quirico seems to agree with Peccini’s assessment.
“I am extremely surprised that the United States could think about intervening, knowing very well how the Syrian revolution has become international jihadism – in other words Al-Qaeda," Quirico said, as quoted by Italy’s Quotidiano Nazionale.
The 62-year-old La Stampa journalist believes that radical Islamic groups operating in Syria to topple Assad “want to create a caliphate and extend it to the entire Middle East and North Africa.”
In a number of news appearances, both Quirico and Piccinin shared stories of how they were subjected to two mock executions, beaten, and starved during their five-month captivity.
"These have been very tough months. We were beaten on a daily basis, we suffered two mock executions," Quirico told reporters upon his arrival in Rome, AFP reported.

“Ada kadang-kadang keganasan sebenar . . . penghinaan, buli, hukuman mati olok-olok . . . Domenico menghadapi 2 hukuman mati olok-olok, dengan pistol,” kata Piccinin memberitahu RTL .
Kedua-dua lelaki telah diculik di Syria April lalu oleh sekumpulan lelaki bersenjata di trak pikap yang dipercayai dari Free Syrian Army.
Menurut Piccinin, yang menangkapnya tidak lama lagi dipindahkan ke pasukan Abu Amma, kumpulan pemberontak “penjahat banyak daripada Islam.”
“Kami telah berpindah banyak sekitar. . . ia tidak semestinya kumpulan yang sama yang ada dgn kami, terdapat kumpulan yang sangat ganas, yang anti- Barat dan sesetengah anti-Kristian,” kata Piccinin.
Kedua-dua lelaki cuba melarikan diri 2 kali tetapi usaha mereka tidak berjaya, mendorong kumpulan pemberontak untuk menghukum mereka atas tindakan mereka.
Kerajaan Itali telah mengumumkan pada hari Ahad bahawa kedua-dua lelaki telah dibebaskan selepas Rome dipergiatkan rundingan dengan pemberontak untuk melepaskan tahanan mendahului serangan Amerika Syarikat yang dijangkakan di Syria.
Ada lagi 13 wartawan masih dipercayai hilang di Syria, menurut Wartawan Tanpa Sempadan.
"There was sometimes real violence...humiliation, bullying, mock executions...Domenico faced two mock executions, with a revolver," Piccinin told RTL.
Both men were kidnapped in Syria last April by a group of armed men in pickup trucks who were believed to be from Free Syrian Army.
According to Piccinin, the captors soon transferred them over to the Abu Ammar brigade, a rebel group "more bandit than Islamist."
"We were moved around a lot...it was not always the same group that held us, there were very violent groups, very anti-West and some anti-Christian," Piccinin said.
Both men tried to escape twice but their attempts were unsuccessful, prompting the rebel group to punish them for their actions.
The Italian government announced on Sunday that both men had been freed after Rome intensified negotiations with the rebels for the release of the prisoners ahead of an anticipated US strike on Syria.
Another 13 journalists are still believed to be missing in Syria, according to Reporters Without Borders.
