toc =Declaration of Independence (Final) =

Jeffrey Kolthoff 11.1.10   5th Period **Syrian Declaration of Independence** We, the people of Syria, believe we have not and not being granted by the government, the basic rights of all people. The government of Syria has and is constantly violated our human rights and has and is inflicting pain and suffering on us, its people.

The purpose of the government is to protect the rights of the people, such as the freedom of speech, religion, the right to life and the right to be happy.

People are being arrested with no reason given, they are often tortured to death. Minorities (women, Kurds and Ahvazis) are being treated unfairly. Iraqi refuges are being targeted and abused. People aren’t allowed to join groups that the government hasn’t approved. People weren’t allowed to build or construct houses without the government official’s consent. People involved in civil rights organizations have disappeared without a trace. People were not issued fair public trial. Political prisoners were not given amnesty. Family members of arrested civil rights members were harassed and tortured. Religious groups had to register with the government and they monitored what the group did or said.

There are the basics rights of all people. In that you have refused to grant us these rights we are compelled to create our own government granting all people these basic rights. Our government will be separate of Syria with the standing of an independent country.

=Declaration of Independence (Draft) =

Jeffrey Kolthoff 11.1.10   5th Period **Syrian Declaration of Independence** We, the people of Syria, feel that we need to get freedom of speech, press, assembly etc. We would like not to be harassed and abused for no reason. Syria is a state with no sense of government or the capability for people to live freely. Therefore we should have the right to form our own government.

The purpose of the government is to protect the rights of the people, such as the freedom of speech, religion, the right to life and the right to be happy.

People are being arrested and no reason as given and they are often tortured and died. Minorities (women, Kurds and Ahvazis) are being treated unfairly. Iraqi refuges are being targeted and abused. People aren’t allowed to join groups that the government hasn’t approved. People weren’t allowed to built or construct houses without the government officials. People involved in civil rights organizations have disappeared without a trace. People were not issued fair public trial. Political prisoners were not given amnesty. Family members of arrested civil rights members were harassed and tortured. Religious groups had to register with the government and they monitored what the group did or said.

The rights that you have broken give us the right to form and create our own governments. We will be independent and have all the rights of our own country and we declare that we are independent of Syria.
