AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): On the 41st anniversary Sabra and Shatila
Massacre, Dr. Ali Akbar Velayati, Secretary General of the World Assembly of
Islamic Awakening, issued a statement.
The statement of Velayati, Secretary General of the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening is as follows:
In the crime that took place on September 16, 1982, in two camps of Sabra and Shatila by the army of the occupiers of the Al-Quds, thousands of defenseless and oppressed Palestinians were martyred and marked a great and permanent stain on the forehead of this usurping and criminal regime and its supporters. This incident became one of the most important events which indicates the lack of legitimacy and international acceptance of the tyrants and oppressors of the Zionist regime.
This crime actually exposed the true face of the Zionist regime and its supporters and false advocates of human rights. This brutal massacre was ordered by Ariel Sharon, then Zionist defense minister, known as the butcher of Sabra and Shatila, during which defenseless and innocent people including 3,000 women, infants, and elderly Palestinians were brutally attacked and martyred in the Palestinian camp located west of Beirut. This event will always be considered a crime against humanity and genocide in history.
Today, the Palestinian Resistance Groups have chosen the main path of struggle, which is resistance, as the only and best solution to bring about the gradual decline and collapse of this brutal regime. However, unfortunately, some regional governments, instead of supporting the Palestinian Cause as the first and most important issue of the Islamic world, are trying to break the taboo of political and diplomatic relations with this fake regime to stab in the back of the lofty goals of Palestine once again as the heart of the Islamic world. But the divine tradition and historical experience have proven that puppet, dictator, and traitor states who are dependent on global arrogance, not only did not achieve success in this matter but also faced the wrath of God and the rage of their people and will buy losses in the world and divine torment in the hereafter.
Some countries in the region, who are trying to normalize relations and recognize the hollow Zionist regime that has shameful cases, should be sure that the historical course and the gradual decline of this regime, whose indicators and signs are becoming more visible day by day, will have no fruit for them, but worldly dishonor and eternal shame, and they will face a painful fate.
While condemning and expressing disgust for the massacre and the catastrophic genocide in Sabra and Shatila, and benevolent and brotherly advice to distance from the Zionist regime and advice to support the cause of Palestine, the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening once again calls on all dignitaries, scholars, elites, leaders, groups, parties, NGOs and all Muslims and freedom seekers and governments and nations of the world, by providing all-round support more actively than in the past, spare no efforts until the victory of the oppressed Palestinian nation is fully realized, and do their best in handing over those who were involved in this massacre and martyrdom of thousands of oppressed Palestinian people in all these years to the international courts.
