Syrian
activists have organized a sit-in in Istanbul in solidarity with Ghouta victims who passed away by Assad's chemical
attacks with death tool reached 1500 people, mostly women and children in Aug 21.
Nour,
25, told Zaman Alwasl, ''Our sit in is a symbolic message to Russia and other
allies of Bashar al-Assad ''to stop supplying Syria's regime with arms and
money what contribute in killing the our people.''
Many
of Turkish activists and Syria's revolution supporters have joined the sit-in
carrying yellow balloons and others wearing Yellow T-shirts in reference to the
chemical weapons.
The
sit-in took place in Sultan Ahmed suburb for two days where the activists
distributed brochures including information about the chemical victims.
In relevant
development, a report by U.N. chemical weapons experts will likely confirm that
poison gas was used in an Aug. 21 attack on Damascus suburbs that killed
hundreds of people, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Friday.
"I believe that the report will be an
overwhelming, overwhelming report that chemical weapons (were) used even though
I cannot publicly say at this time before I receive this report," Ban said
at a U.N. meeting.
He was
referring to a report by the U.N. expert team led by Ake Sellstrom of Sweden.
Ban also said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "has committed many
crimes against humanity," though he did not say whether it was Assad's
forces or rebels who used chemical toxins in the Aug. 21 attack.
