Hazem said that gangs called Sabiha have recently appeared in Syria "They existed before and were dealing with drug trafficking and all forbidden things. All in Syria are aware that Bashar's brother, Maher al-Assad, manages this mafia. These people kill demonstrators. The army itself may not kill as many people as paramilitary groups are killing."
When I asked how the situation in Syria would develop, Hazem replied, "The only thing we can do is continue. People are brave, they are not tired and we will surely continue. The bad thing is that every day 30-40 people are killed. Until now, the European Union has actually done nothing. A ban on selling weapons was imposed on Syria. Well, it has never bought weapons from Europe. All its weapons come from North Korea, Iran, Russia. The position of the European Union is like a mockery to us. It says it supports us, but is doing absolutely nothing. They said that bank accounts would be frozen. But what bank accounts do they mean? Bashar al-Assad could not deposit so much money into accounts in his name. This means that there are others. So far, they have frozen the accounts of 30 people, but the regime in Syria is not only them, there are many more of them.
The real sanctions are to expel ambassadors and cut off all diplomatic relations. If they continue to maintain them, then this means that they support the regime and not the Syrian people."
Syrians living in Greece want Athens and Europe to recognize the National Council. "It has representatives not only abroad but also in Syria itself. We have seen this from the slogans during the demonstrations in various cities." They want to be given the status of political refugees and all threats "by employees of the embassy and civilian police officers who are there" to stop.
