Haitham al-Maleh, head of the Legal Committee, denied reports circulated by a fake account on social networking sites that preparations are underway for forming a new opposition political body. Some media outlets circulated the reports without verifying their authenticity as required by the professional journalism. “I categorically deny any connection to this fake account and the reports it has circulated. We now need to activate and ramp up the work of the Syrian Coalition especially after it was recognized by many countries as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
