Solve Suspicion of Arms Smuggling to Syria
On recent media reports about German organisations being involved in arms smuggling to Syria, member of the Party Executive Committee of DIE LINKE, Wolfgang Gehrcke, declares:
Thorough investigations are urgently necessary on the amount and the ways of weapon transports to Syria, possibly also by German companies with the knowledge of German institutions. The suspicion of arms delivery by and via Germany has to be solved completely.
DIE LINKE demands a general prohibition of arms smuggling, especially to the conflict region Near East. Who is serious about a truce in Syria has to stop the stream of weapons to the civil war country. The German Federal Government has to solve the suspicion of a German transport company being involved in arms smuggling to Syria immediately and thoroughly.
