Press Release
Syrian Coalition
January 02, 2015
The Syrian Coalition is extremely concerned after a video showing two Italian students, Vanessa Marzullo and Greta Ramelli, kidnapped in August 2014, was posted online on New Year’s Eve.
The Syrian Coalition calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the two young women, who have shown extraordinary courage in coming to Syria to provide a lifeline to thousands of civilians in dire need of help.
Preserving independence and national sovereignty and maintaining the Syrian people's unity within the same Syrian soil is one of the critical pillars of the Syrian Coalition. The Coalition aims to overthrow the Assad regime along with all its symbols and pillars. It also aims to dismantle its security apparatus and hold accountable those involved in crimes against Syrians. In addition, it seeks to achieve a transition to a pluralistic, democratic and civil Syria.
