In December 2023, the Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity shared its annual bulletin on consumer prices and inflation in Syria. The Association pointed out that the deterioration of living conditions in Syria as a result of increasing inflation rates, the decline in people’s purchasing ability, and other factors are sufficient reasons for the lack of necessities for life there. These are factors that must be studied clearly when talking about a safe environment for Syrians and when talking about encouraging displaced people to return. 

The Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity issued a statement, entitled: “Urgent call to prevent the recurrence of chemical weapons crimes, to achieve justice, and to hold criminals accountable” in which it expressed its deep concern about the continued presence of the chemical weapons arsenal in the hands of the Syrian regime, as accurate information and international reports indicate that there are serious concerns about the possibility of Repeated use of chemical weapons in Syria. 

The Association also shared an article entitled: “Refugees: a Russian weapon to empty Syria and flood Europe!” It talked about the beginning of the escalation of fears on the European continent, due to the escalation of the migration crisis, which has become more severe due to Russian efforts that seem to aim to destabilize it by facilitating the flow of refugees. At the forefront of these events is the closure of Finland’s border crossings with Russia and the arrest of many arrivals, which raises many questions about Moscow’s real plan. 

The Association published a statement, entitled: “Does the arrest warrant for Bashar Al-Assad achieve justice for the victims of chemical attacks?” this is after the French judiciary issued an international arrest warrant against the head of the Syrian regime, Bashar Al-Assad, his brother Maher, the commander of the Fourth Division in the Syrian army, and two other brigadier generals, Ghassan Abbas, director of the security branch 450 from the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center, and Bassam Al-Hassan, advisor to the President for Strategic Affairs, and liaison officer between the Presidential Palace and the Scientific Research Center, on charges of contribution in crimes of using banned chemical weapons. 

A new video prepared by SACD on drug production and smuggling in Syria, reviewed the impact of escalating clashes taking place on the northern border of Jordan between Jordanian forces and drug smugglers, as the recent clashes witnessed the participation of Jordanian aviation to prevent smuggling operations and ensure border security. 

SACD published an exclusive interview with Dr. Hossam Al-Hafez, President of the Syrian Council for International Relations, who spoke about the legal and judicial reforms that are considered part of the conditions for achieving a safe environment in Syria for the return of displaced Syrians. 

 In another interview, Dr. Yasser Al-Eiti, a member of the Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity, spoke about the importance of the Syrian refugees returning to their original places of residence before displacement, their right to preserve the unity and cohesion of their families, and for their decision to return should be linked to the return of the entire family to their original areas of residence.
