Smuggle hope into Syria
9 februari 2012 21:48
Dear friends,
The Assad regime is slaughtering its citizens and tearing cities
apart. The UN has failed to stop the killing, and Avaaz has the only network
that is both smuggling medical equipment and journalists in and images and
information out. Click to watch this video appeal from Danny, a brave Syrian
democracy activist calling on Avaaz for help and chip in now to save lives:
| This urgent video appeal
just came in from one of Avaaz's brave citizen journalists in Syria -- our
community may be the only one that can help Danny and his friends before the
next massacre.
Right now, the regime is murdering men, women and
children and tearing cities apart. China and Russia just handcuffed
international action at the UN and gave Assad license to unleash his murder
machine to crush the Syrian Spring once and for all. But Danny and the democracy
movement are more determined than ever and are urgently asking for our
continued international solidarity and support.
Let’s be clear -- as
embassies close, medical agencies withdraw and journalists pull out, Avaaz
has the only network that is both smuggling medical equipment and journalists in
and images and information out. The UN has failed, but we can help peaceful
democracy heroes like Danny loosen the dictator's grip on their country.
Click here to see Danny's appeal and chip in now so we can continue our
Arab spring campaigning and support for citizen journalists -- if 20,000 of
us donate now, we can get aid to the most besieged cities and towns before the
next attack:

Activists
like Danny are risking their lives for freedom and counting on our global
support. On Saturday, Syria’s brutal forces killed another one of Avaaz's
citizen journalists, a 23-year-old named Omar who was a leader of our 400-strong
network of activists as he pulled people from the rubble after a deadly
massacre in Homs. Omar died as he lived, photographing the regime’s crimes,
helping others and sacrificing for freedom. After the regime kicked the
international media out, brave civilians like Danny and Omar have risked their
lives to break the news blackout and help 18 of the world’s leading journalists
from foreign news outlets into the locked-down country. It’s likely that the
images you have seen on your TV or photographs in your newspaper came from this
courageous team.
But that is just a part of what the Avaaz project has
done. Thanks to the generous support of members across the world, Avaaz
is providing a rare lifeline of critical support to the democracy movement in
Syria. When activists told us medicines were running out, we set up a smuggling
network to deliver over $1.8 million worth of medical equipment into the
country, saving thousands of lives. When the Syrian National Council was
struggling to present a credible leadership alternative to the world, we
organized meetings in the UN, Russia and across Europe to support their
work.
Day after day, Danny and Omar and hundreds of other heroes have
turned out to film and protest, facing down tanks with no support from
international governments. But what happens in the next two weeks will be
decisive. This is the pinnacle of the Arab Spring and the global struggle
against brutal despots. Together we can secure a lifeblood to the resistance
and walk with the brave Syrian people on their journey to freedom. Click to

This
year people power in the Middle East has taught the world an important lesson --
together we are stronger than the fiercest dictator, and fiercer than the
most ruthless army. On the streets of Syria, Avaaz is a beloved partner in
the struggle for freedom. As one opposition leader put it, “the Syrian people
have gained strength from knowing that the world, through the Avaaz community,
stands with them.” Together, we have made the impossible possible and with our
help Assad’s regime will come to end.
With hope and
determination,
Alice, Ian, Antonia, Emma, Ricken, Mouhamad, Morgan,
Wissam, Sam, Bissan, Will and the entire Avaaz team
