Salem al-Meslet, spokesman of the Syrian Coalition, extends condolences to the family and friends of Rihanna Jabbari, who was hanged in a Tehran prison on Saturday morning. She had been convicted of killing a man she said was trying to sexually abuse her. “This inhumane act mirrors the practices of the Assad regime against the Syrian people, and explains the unwavering support that Assad still receives from Iran as both regimes share the same dictatorial and tyrannical mindsets,” Meslet said. “However, the Iranian people will not yield to the barbarity the regime, and they deserve to be salvaged from oppression and tyranny and regain freedom, dignity and democracy.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
