The Syrian Human Rights Organization has learned that the Assad regime is offering up the
names of victims of enforced disappearance, whom it killed in the dungeons and underground
torture cellars of its intelligence agencies, and labeling them as victims of the earthquake, this for
the purpose of political and financial exploitation, on the one hand, and turning the page on the
issue of enforced disappearance, on the other.
The regime has even begun portrayed places on the outskirts of the capital, Damascus, that were
destroyed by its barbaric barrel bombing during the past ten years, as the aftermath of the
earthquake in Aleppo and Latakia, in order to conceal its brutality and beg for sympathy and
international support. 
In reality, the areas worst affected by the earthquake are the liberated northern areas of Syria,
which were and still are suffering as a result of the siege and closure of that region and the
attempts of those who control its border crossings to politically exploit the sufferings of its
population in pursuit of filthy personal interests.
Accordingly, our people in the liberated north, who were bombarded by the criminal Syrian
regime, abandoned over a decade, stripped of their homes and replaced by foreign Shiite
sectarian militias, suffer from the impacts of the devastating earthquake without any supplies or
support of any kind, and with no way to access them through the closed crossings.
On the other hand, generous aid from the United Nations, the counter-revolutionary countries
and some of their advocates are still flowing to Bashar al-Assad and his wife who, through her
imaginary organizations, has monopolized all international aid.
For all above reasons, the Syrian Organization for Human Rights has published this petition:

 to demand that aid be sent directly to the liberated north of Syria for those who most need them.
It was drafted in English because it targets English-speaking audiences, organizations and
countries, and in the absence of means to send aid directly to northern Syria, as is the case now.

In the absence of a means to send aid directly into the Northwest, we ask the U.S. administration
to open the crossings from the areas, occupied by Kurdish separatist militias, that are adjacent to
the earthquake-afflicted areas, unconditionally and without allowing those militias to steal the
aid.
On the Turkish side, we understand the horror and tragedy in Turkey, and the urgent need to
relieve the affected Turkish regions. We also urge Turkey to open a hotline for anyone who
wants to relieveaffected Syrians in the liberated areas, including the helpless refugees who have
lost their homes, family and loved ones.
‏With regard to Bashar al-Assad and his henchmen, we can never trust that they will assume their
responsibilities or carry out their duty.Bashar is nothing but a usurper of power under an
international umbrella and a leader of a gang that occupies a seat in the United Nations. Such
membership has degraded the status of the U.N. and led to a loss of trust in it, with the result that
it has become urgently necessary to find an alternative system that can be more worthy of
respect, more just and humane, and firmer in dealing with Bashar al-Assad and international
criminals of his sort.
