Syrian Regime Research Paper

Yaser Esam Hamdi is an American citizen born in Louisiana in 1980. In 2001, Hamdi was captured by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and turned over to the United States as an enemy combatant. The United States government detained and interrogated Hamdi in Afghanistan until they moved him to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The U.S. government found out that Hamdi was an American citizen and transferred him to a brig in Norfolk, Virginia and then later to a brig in Charleston, South Carolina. The government labeled Hamdi as an enemy combatant and said that justified the holding of Hamdi indefinitely without any formal charges. The injury suffered by Hamdi is that he has been interrogated and being held in prison indefinitely with no formal charge. Along with that, Hamdi had not been granted any of his rights as an American citizen. In June 2002, Esam Fouad Hamdi, Yaser Hamdi’s father filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in a federal district court. The district court appointed a public defender to Hamdi and ordered for him to have access to Hamdi, so the government appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals. The U.S. Court of Appeals sided with the government stating that the district court had failed to respect the government’s security. The case then went back to the district court, where the decision was that the evidence set forth by the government was not enough to detain Hamdi. The district court then reversed its ruling because

Have you heard of Bowe Bergdahl. A U.S. soldier named Bowe Bergdahl was a prisoner. Bow was held five years as a prisoner. The U.S. army exchanged five Afghan prisoners for Bowe Bergdahl. Bow did not support the Americans. He wanted to start a new life. He slipped off the remote military outpost in Pakistan province on the border. Soldiers went looking for him and they were sadly killed looking around the Afghans land.

for the release of two other Americna detainees if Bae continues to say bad things about the reclusive country. The agency warned that the American prisoners will never be able to return to their home country.

Negotiations are complex, involving mixed motives, and the Bergdahl case is no exception. In the end, Bergdahl was released in exchange for the release of five Guantanamo Bay prisoners convicted of terrorism. The outcome reinforces the idea discussed in class that compromise is a win-win and a lose-lose proposition. In this case, Bergdahl was released safely, but it is now known the U.S. will negotiate for American captives held by extremists. Sceptics believe the perception from this case jeopardizes the safety of very American-civilian and military alike (Thor 2014). White House officials refute this claim, pointing out the U.S. negotiated through the government of Qatar rather than with terrorists (Wallbank and Ratnam 2014).

During the BBC documentary, that shed light to what truly takes place behind the walls of the facility, an American citizen’s heartfelt message to President Obama to continue with the commission hearing to seek justice she stated “you must purse justice for the 3000 victims of September 11th and I ask this in my son Justin’s memory”(Portillo). Justin’s mother’s heartfelt outcry, shown in the documentary, to the President and to the United States government that justice has still not been reached for the deceased or their loved ones. This is a reminder to those that even for a second consider closing this facility that these three thousand people that lost their lives not only were robbed of the opportunity to live fulfilled lives, but also to take part in the lives of their loved ones. The pain that the nation went through during this time has ran deep throughout the nations core and this pain has been reflected in countless efforts to avenge the death of the ones lost during this attack and to prevent others like it. If we were to take the approach of releasing the prisoners we would not only be releasing criminals back into the worlds’ society, but we would also be neglecting the feelings of many Americans.

Freedom has come at a price . Nobody can verify this superior to the men and ladies who have served in the equipped administrations of this extraordinary country we call the Unified Conditions of America. Nobody knows not it resemble to have that opportunity all of a sudden grabbed away than those people who, during the time spent serving their nation, have gotten themselves detainees of war. It is an ordeal neither requested nor craved.

Attention getter- Have you ever been forced to leave your hometown without committing any crimes or doing something wrong? Imagine yourself waking up one day, seeing that you are in the middle of the war with people running around and screaming for their lives. Such incident may seem very unlikely to happen to you however, the people of Syria have been experiencing it for almost everyday of their lives. .

Today the international committee and other nations around the world argue whether or not President Bashar-Assad of Syria ought to step down from his position as leader of the Syrian people.it’s not too late to save Syria from falling apart.

An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the Tsarnaevs had received refugee status. The parents of the Tsarnaev brothers reached the United States on tourist visas and applied for asylum. To get asylum, an applicant must meet the definition of a refugee, but unlike a refugee he or she has already reached the United States and is subject to a different application process. After the Tsarnaevs obtained asylee status, they successfully applied for derivative asylee status for their children. The story has been corrected.

The corrupt President of Syria, Bashar al- Assad, has also committed extreme crimes against humanity. It was recently found that "a Syrian army photographer who catalogued thousands of cases of torture and murder in Bashar al-Assad’s prisons has spoken out for the first time about witnessing atrocities that have been described as crimes against humanity and led to calls for the president’s prosecution” (Black). The Syrian photographer identified himself with a code name of Caesar and is now a current refugee in Europe. Caesar fears that he will be “eliminated” for releasing the most damaging exposure of Syrian state violence since the uprising in 2011. Caesar stated that “before the uprising, the regime tortured prisoners to get information;

On May 31, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) assault on the city of Manjib, along with an air assault support of the U.S., had begun. Since that assault began, until Friday, when the last of the ISIS militants had fled the city, it has claimed the lives of thousands of people, whether they were Jihadists militants, SDF fighters, or simply civilians. Along with the liberation of Manbij, more than 2,000 hostages were released, that the SDF and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights report, were used as “human shields."

One form of Assad’s cruelty as a leader is shown in Syrian prisons, such as Saydnaya, where the prisoners are often tortured and killed. “Every week, often twice per week, between 20 and 50 people are taken

Millions and millions of Syrians are trying to escape the dangers of the Assad regime and ISIL. As a matter of fact, World Bank USA reports 11.2 million Syrians seeking refuge somewhere in this world, either in Syria or in Japan, or anywhere else in this world.

The higher flames from that of the war in Syria need to be stopped. The head of the opposition party, the al Nusra front is said to have stronger connections with the leader of al Qaeda, Aiman al Zawaheri, who was senior advisor to late Osama Bin Laden. The Al Nusra front is heavily armed by the the al Qaeda, and the arsenal provided to them by the al Qaeda is both of light and heavy type. The Syrian government is therefore facing heavier and stronger offense from the opposition.

Without knowing this, conflict and destruction will continue to occur in Syria, and for that matter the rest of the world.
