Imad Moustapha, Naji Arwashan, Hazem Chehabi and all who represent the vicious dictatorship in Syria must be expelled from the US immediately. Thugs at the Syrian Embassy in Washington and staff at the Syrian consulates in Detroit and Los Angeles must face trial for their crimes against humanity. Murdering over 3,000 innocent civilians including infants, women and children is absolutely unacceptable atrocities by the Assad brutal. Enough is enough and I am glad that the FBI is cracking down on loyalist of this Syrian monster: Criminal Bashar Al-Assad who must face trial at the Lahai International Court for crimes against humanity.
