European Parliament
Raül Romeva i Rueda  (Verts/ALE ),
in writing.
– In favour. The EP cannot remain silent. We should condemn in the strongest terms the escalation of the Syrian regime’s violent and brutal attacks again its own people and, in particular, in the city of Homs, the third biggest Syrian urban centre, that is suffering from continuous and heavy shelling since the beginning of February. Time has come to urge the Syrian regime to end immediately the killing of civilians, to withdraw the Syrian troops from besieged cities, and to release all detained protesters, political prisoners, human rights defenders, bloggers and journalists.
