Reports from #Idlib provide clear evidence Assad, backed by Russia &Iran using illegal cluster bombs against civilians which exact a heavy toll, threat lingers long after the initial bomb attack as many unexploded lethal bomblets are left strewn across a wide area'
'Ireland where convention to ban cluster munitions was first agreed at an international diplomatic conference in Dublin should lead in demanding an end to civilian slaughter with these egregious weapons'
'Latest report from citizen journalist and photographer @Fared60350386 shows video of the remains of a cluster rocket one of many fired by the Assad regime on Ma’arat al-Nu’man in the southern Idlib countryside yesterday (Saturday, March 2, 2019)'
'Using illegal cluster munitions potential warcrimes & crimes against humanity because directed at civilians.Terrible toll these weapons exact on civilians is amplified bec many killed or suffer horrific injuries esp children when they encounter unexploded bomblets'
'Given support for the Syrian people in Ireland as exemplified by internationally recognised Irish Syria Solidarity Movement, Irish government should raise its voice to demand adherence to the convention in Idlib to halt the use of cluster bombs and save civilian'
