Sit-in in Istanbul in solidarity with Chemical attacks victims

 

 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.
