Today marks 10 years since brave protestors took to the streets in Syria demanding democracy and dignity.
Since then over half a million have been killed by Assad and Putin, many more have fled as refugees, and thousands have been tortured.
What happened to 'Never Again'?

What happened to 'Never Again'?
Jo Cox MP, Syrian activists and others called for a proper strategy to protect civilians, including a No Bombing Zone, which couldve saved many thousands of lives. Instead such calls got put in the 'too difficult' column, red lines were set and crossed, and the conflict got worse
Labour's policies on Syria during many of these years have been at best, weak, and at worst, downright harmful (e.g. lcid.org.uk/2017/12/14/lab…).
At LCID we are sorry that Labour has failed Syrians too often in recent years, and sorry we were unable to change that.

We are pleased, that under new leadership Labour is moving in a better direction, including what @AnnaMcMorrin @WayneDavid_MP are doing to hold the Government to account, and it was great that they and @lisanandy met recently with @BritishSyrian

The conflict is, of course, far from over and you can help by following @BritishSyrian, supporting them in their MP action: sbcouncil.org.uk/post/action-al…, and by attending their panel event tomorrow with LCID VP @Alison_McGovern: sbcouncil.org.uk/event-details/…
