Syrian diplomat's defection hailed as blow to Assad, Lama Iskandar last example

Lma Iskandar, Syrian Diplomat is "no longer willing to represent a regime that has committed such violent and oppressive acts against its own people". Zaman Alwasl source said.

Iskandar assured that defection this week from Foreign Ministry headquarter of in Damascus, has taken one year of planning and preparation according to the restrictions that surrounding the diplomats.

Her departure can be another blow to the Assad regime, "It illustrates the revulsion and despair the regime's actions are provoking amongst Syrians from all walks of life, inside the country and abroad." as the FCO said once about defection of Diplomat Khaled al-Ayoubi from the Syrian Embassy in London year ago.

That time the Foreign British Ministry said "We urge others around Bashar al-Assad to follow al-Ayoubi example, to disassociate themselves from the crimes being committed against the Syrian people and to support a peaceful and free future for Syria." Now we have Iskandar example who defected from the den of Assad.
