Power to Silence Dissent
The article criticizes the slogan “Whoever liberates decides,” arguing that it reduces the fall of the Assad regime to the latest military confrontation while disregarding some 15 years of struggle and sacrifice. It is used, the article says, to justify monopolizing decision-making and sidelining critics. Liberating the country does not give any group the right to claim ownership of it or silence those who disagree. All Syrians have the right to shape Syria’s future through political participation and institutions that enable accountability. The article calls for countering exclusionary rhetoric through public debate, and for holding incitement, threats, and defamation legally accountable while protecting freedom of expression.
