The Lebanese government, which is aligned with the U.S., has opposed the Syrian revolution, fought against it, and mistreated Syrian refugees. Many supporters of the revolution from both Syria and Lebanon remain unjustly imprisoned by Lebanon’s corrupt authorities.  

Welcoming Lebanon’s Prime Minister Mikati in Damascus is disgraceful. It shows a refusal to recognize the values of the revolution and aligns with corrupt Arab regimes that people across the region have rejected and rebelled against.  

This is part of a counter-revolution aimed at undermining everything the Syrian revolution stands for. The principles of the revolution—standing against tyranny, corruption, and oppression—shouldn't be compromised for narrow national interests or selfish political calculations that go against the core values of justice and Islam.
