Joint Letter to IBSA Delegation to Syria on Human Rights Protection

We welcome your governments’ decision to send a joint delegation to Syria. This is an important initiative of the IBSA countries with the potential to help end the human rights violations against civilians in Syria. Our organizations and more than 412,000 members of Avaaz, the on-line campaign network, who signed a petition on Syria, are looking to IBSA to send a human rights delegation to Syria immediately to press for an end to the mounting toll of human rights abuses, including deaths, disappearances, torture and unlawful detention. We hope this delegation will fulfill the hopes of these citizens across the world.
