Thread Name: BS: Homs horror (Syria, 2012)
Subject: RE: BS: Homs horror (Syria, 2012)
"Amnesty International has called for the imposition of an immediate arms embargo aimed at stopping the transfer of arms to the Syrian government, a Security Council referral of the situation to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, and an assets freeze on President Bashar al-Assad and his close associates."
It has been persisitently suggested on this thread that Assad's gofer with properties in London, should have all his considerable assets seized
- your response
"Unless he commits a crime, he can not be touched or his assets seized."
Now, it appears, it is permissible to seize them - what's changed - and has the British government seized them - if not, why not?
Why has it taken so long to take this sort of action and why have you opposed it until now - until them upstairs give the nod, no doubt.
When are you going to work some of this out for yourself instead of waiting to be told what to think?
And the reason you are allowed to discuss Israel on this thread, but the rest of us are not is........?
