EU piles pressure on Syria, targets Iran allies / اعلام نام سه فرمانده سپاه در فهرست تحریم‌های اروپا علیه سوریه

European Union Imposing sanctions on three Iranian military allies.

The European Union piled pressure on the Syrian regime on Friday, warning that its legitimacy was undermined by a brutal crackdown and imposing sanctions on three of its Iranian military allies.

EU leaders holding a summit in Brussels were to adopt a declaration condemning the “unacceptable and shocking violence the Syrian regime continues to apply on its own citizen,” according to a draft obtained by AFP.

“By choosing a path of repression instead of fulfilling its own promises on broad reforms, the regime is calling its legitimacy into question,” says the draft.

“Those responsible for crimes and violence against civilians shall be held accountable,” it says amid a crackdown which Syrian rights groups say has left more than 1,300 people dead while 10,000 have been arrested.

The Facebook group Syrian Revolution 2011, one of the motors of the protests, has called on Syrians to stage more rallies after the main Friday Muslim prayers.

The theme for the protests, it said, is “Bashar is no longer my president and his government no longer represents me.”

Such protests are regularly crushed by the security forces, with dozens killed most Fridays.

The violence rocking the country took a dramatic twist on Thursday when troops backed by tanks entered a border zone, sending hundreds of people fleeing into Turkey and prompting US warnings of risks for the region.

Seeking a global condemnation of the violence, the EU declaration calls for the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution slamming the crackdown launched by President Bashar al-Assad against pro-democracy protests which first erupted on March 15, a move opposed by veto-wielding member Russia.

The declaration “lends its full support to diplomatic efforts aimed at ensuring that the UN Security Council can assume its responsibility and give adequate response to the situation in Syria.”

The text also welcomes the adoption of new sanctions against Syria, adding three commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard along with four Syrians and four businesses to a list of people hit by an assets freeze and EU travel ban.

The EU has already imposed sanctions on 23 Syrians, including Assad and his closest associates.

Brigadier Commander Mohammad Ali Jafari, head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, was added to the new list published in the EU Official Journal on Friday, along with Major General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the guards’ Qods unit, and Hossein Taeb, deputy commander for intelligence.

They were all accused of “providing equipment and support to help the Syria regime suppress protests in Syria,” the Journal said.

Syria has reacted angrily to the EU sanctions, with Foreign Minister Walid Muallem saying this week they were “equivalent to war” and denying receiving assistance from Iran or Lebanon’s militant group Hezbollah in putting down the protests.

The United States voiced concerns of potential consequences for the region after Syrian troops stormed the border village of Khirbet al-Joz, where many of the displaced had massed, an activist at the scene told AFP.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the troop build-up was “worrisome” as it could increase the chances of a border clash and spell fresh misery for refugees fleeing a crackdown following pro-democracy protests.

Correspondents said hundreds of people broke through barbed wire marking the frontier on Thursday to seek haven in Turkey, advancing on a road a few kilometres (miles) from the village of Guvecci.

The new exodus has pushed the number of Syrians sheltering in Turkey close to 12,000 after some 1,500 refugees poured across the border on Thursday and Friday, Turkish officials said.

“We are very concerned by the reports that the Syrian military has surrounded and targeted the village of Khirbet al-Joz, which is located roughly 500 metres from the Turkish border,” Clinton told reporters in Washington.

“If true, that aggressive action will only exacerbate the already unstable refugee situation in Syria,” she said, calling it a “very worrisome development.”

اعلام نام سه فرمانده سپاه در فهرست تحریم‌های اروپا علیه سوریه


در ادامه تحریم‌های حکومت سوریه به دلیل سرکوب خشونت‌بار معترضان در این کشور، اتحادیه اروپا روز جمعه نام سه تن از فرماندهان سپاه پاسداران جمهوری اسلامی را در کنار چهار مقام سوری در فهرست تحریمی‌های حکومت بشار اسد اعلام کرد

خبرگزاری فرانسه به نقل از نشریه رسمی اتحادیه اروپا روز جمعه نام این سه تن را محمدعلی جعفری، فرمانده کل سپاه، قاسم سلیمانی، فرمانده سپاه قدس، و حسین طائب، فرمانده اطلاعات سپاه ایران، عنوان کرده است

پیشتر در روز چهارشنبه یک دیپلمات اروپایی خبر داده بود که با گسترش تحریم‌های کشورهای اروپایی علیه سوریه قرار است هفت نفر از جمله سه ایرانی نیز به اتهام دست داشتن در سرکوب معترضان در سوریه مورد تحریم قرار گیرند

با این حال در گزارش روز چهارشنبه خبرگزاری‌های خارجی به نام این سه تن که متهم به ارتباط با سرکوب و کشتار مردم سوریه هستند اشاره‌ای نشده بود

آن طور که در نشریه رسمی اتحادیه اروپا قید شده، این سه فرمانده سپاه پاسداران ایران به جرم «تهیه تجهیزات و کمک به حکومت سوریه برای سرکوب اعتراضات» در فهرست تحریم‌ها قرار گرفته‌اند

پیشتر ایالات متحده نیز در چارچوب اقدامات خود برای وادار ساختن رهبران سوریه به توقف سرکوب خشونت‌‌آمیز اعتراض‌ها در این کشور، علاوه بر بشار اسد و مقام‌های بلندپایه این کشور، دو فرمانده عالی‌رتبه سپاه پاسداران را تحریم کرده بود

وزارت خزانه‌داری آمریکا نام این دو فرمانده را قاسم سلیمانی، فرمانده نیروی قدس سپاه، و محسن چیذری، یکی دیگر از فرماندهان عالی‌رتبه سپاه قدس، اعلام کرد

نیروی قدس بخشی از سپاه پاسداران جمهوری اسلامی است که مسئولیت عملیات برون‌مرزی این نیرو را برعهده دارد

این فرماندهان سپاه که نام‌ دست‌کم دو تن از آنها در فهرست تحریم‌های غرب علیه ایران نیز هست در حالی بار دیگر مشمول تحریم قرار گرفته‌اند که تهران و دمشق هر دو هر گونه دخالت جمهوری اسلامی در سرکوب‌های سوریه را انکار می‌کنند

اما موضوع دخالت نیروهای امنیتی جمهوری اسلامی در سرکوب مردم سوریه به نفع حکومت بشار اسد، متحد دیرینه ایران، تقریبا از ابتدای اعتراضات در این کشور مطرح بوده است

از جمله خبرگزاری فرانسه در بیستم خردادماه به نقل از «آوارگان سوری زخمی» که به ترکیه پناه برده‌اند از نقش و «حضور فعالانه» نیروهای امنیتی جمهوری اسلامی، «با لباس سیاه و ریش»، در سرکوب اعتراضات سوریه خبر داد

بنا بر آمارهای غیررسمی، اعتراضات در سوریه به حکومت اسد که از حدود سه ماه پیش آغاز شد تاکنون دست‌کم ۱۴۰۰ کشته و بیش از ده هزار بازداشت به دنبال داشته است. امکان تایید رسمی این تعداد تلفات به دلیل ممنوعیت کار خبرگزاری‌های خارجی در این کشور وجود ندارد

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
