Western media judge AL monitors without listening

International and Gulf press reports on the visit by the Arab League monitors are solely based on the allegations made by the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (London office of the Muslim Brotherhood). In short, the army is supposedly killing peaceful demonstrators, and continues to do so despite the presence of observers.

Paving the way for their possible repudiation of the final report, some media continue to fuel the campaign against the AL Observer Mission director.

No media has accompanied the observers during their visit, or even interviewed them. None has reported on the clashes between the army and the terrorist groups, the hostage-taking in course, or the mediation by the observers.
