[Tripoli Post] Tripoli- The Syrian protestors tried to break into the Syrian embassy in Tripoli early morning on Saturday. They broke the windows and climbed to the roof and managed to change the old flag with the new Free Syrian flag. The security guards then intervened and the protestors drove away. The guards then hoisted the old flag back.The interim government of Libya has already recognized the SNC, Syrian National Council as the legitimate representative of the Syrian People but the Pro-Assad embassy staff was still here. In the evening 10s of protestors gathered outside the Syrian embassy in Tripoli and began chanting the Anti-Assad slogans, they were accompanied by many Libyan nationals as well. Some people then climbed over the walls, to the roof using ladders and changed the flag. The Libyan revolutionaries guarding the embassy didn't stop the angry protestors, which included women and kiddies. The official of the SNC spoke to the Tripoli Post and said that "We will not leave until we take over the embassy, NTC has recognized us and it's our right to take our embassy back from Assad thugs". He also had an authorization letter from the SNC. The protestors finally opened the door and everybody rushed inside the building. Many people were trying to secure the building and look for important documents that could help expose the Assad regime. Posted by: Fred 2012-02-05 |
