lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, firstly I would like to welcome four representatives from the Syrian opposition who have come here from different parts of Europe to support their countrymen. Anwar al-Bunni, Michel Kilo, Khalil Hussein, Safwan Tayfour, Mahmoud Issa, Fateh Jammous, Suleiman Achmar, Nidal Derwiche, Suleiman Shummor, Ghalem Amer, Muhammad Mahfud, Mahmoud Mer’i and Kamal Labwani are only a few of those who were imprisoned in the cruel and inhuman jails of the Syrian intelligence services on 19 May. They were imprisoned because they, together with 500 other intellectuals, signed a petition calling for the normalisation of relations with Lebanon. They were imprisoned because they want peace, stability and normal life to prevail in the Middle East. They were imprisoned because they want the very same things that we want. Kamal Labwani came to us a year ago to share here with us the outlook as regards the situation in Syria. He told us that when he went back he would be imprisoned. He arrived at Damascus airport and was imprisoned. Today he faces a life sentence and so far we have done nothing to help. Anwar al-Bunni had just accepted the post of Director in the Centre for Human Rights financed by the European Union. He was therefore immediately imprisoned. Our responsibility for their imprisonment is clear. Let us be responsible for their freedom. How can we work and live here in dignity if those who come here to talk and to work for us face life imprisonment? We urge you, Commission, Council, Member States, and especially the European public, to help us free those who are tortured, abused, imprisoned and killed, because they want their country and their countrymen to live in dignity and peace. The authoritarian regime in Syria runs an enormous number of abnormally cruel political prisons. Let Syria free all its political prisoners before we have further dialogue on the Syrian association agreement."@en1
