White House condemns the brutal repression''in Syria''

Syria is another country in the Middle East fighting to end the political crisis. Protesters took to the streets to demand political reforms in his country, but never imagined that he would meet Armed Forces of the Syrian regime. Given this, the White House condemned the "brutal repression" by the regime that has left dead and wounded, against Protestants in the city of Dera.

The U.S. government said it rejects violence under any circumstance and is deeply concerned about the arbitrary detention of human rights defenders, among others. The U.S. government urged President Bashar al-Assad to remain calm and respect the rights of its people, and also launched an appeal to citizens to exercise their rights peacefully.

United States advocated respect for universal rights, including freedom of expression and assembly, and believes that governments "must meet the legitimate aspirations of their people." The Syrian government said that studies the claims "legitimate" of the people and that will form a commission to investigate what happened in Dera, scene of bloody protests over a hundred kilometers south of Damascus.

In a press conference, the Minister of the Syrian President, Buzeina Shaaban, also announced that the government will consider lifting the state of emergency in the country, in force since 1963. The Minister conveyed his condolences to Al Asad to the families of victims of Deraa, where since the beginning of the riots have killed 32 people.
