The statement read, “over a decade, the Syrian people experienced a great epic, that will be remembered by the coming generations, against the most oppressive regime in the modern history. While the people dreamt of building a country on bases of justice and equity, the regime planned to run a presidential election farce show. Hawran clans stress the election isn’t legitimate and that it will be run in an authoritarian environment against the willing of the Syrians. The election is an episode of a series of Iranian hegemony on the Syrian decisions. Requalifying the regime on the debris of a destroyed nation is a mere ignorance for the Syrian rights and negligence to the international resolutions. We are in Hawran consider the election time as a sad and a mourning day and that taking part in it is shameful.”
SOHR activists also said, yesterday, that campaign still continuous in different areas in southern Syria, especially in Daraa and al-Suwaydaa that called for boycotting the presidential elections.
