In November 2023, the lawyer Homad Homad, a member of the Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity, gave an exclusive interview on “Aleppo Today” TV, in which he discussed the risks of young Syrians returning to Syria even after paying compulsory military service substitute. He stressed that with the payment of financial substitute, young men remain at risk of arrest and financial exploitation because the matter is not just about paying the substitute, as those young guys who are wanted for military service face other risks that threaten their lives and stability. 

The Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity spoke in its analysis titled “Returning to Syria between the mirage of political statements and the reality of immigration to Europe” about the conditions of Syrians between harsh reality and unknown hope, as Syrians stand on the brink of death boats on a dangerous journey towards Europe. They are fleeing the risk of death in Syria and the struggle to survive in societies where economic difficulties are increasing and racist hate speech against them is growing. 

In the video “Escalation of Hostilities in Syria: A Horrific Account of Events!”, the Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity reviewed the confessions of a Russian official about launching 230 airstrikes on cities and towns in northwestern Syria during the recent escalation campaign that the region was subjected to, while a UN report documents the tragedy of children, women, and civilians, with mass displacement and destruction of vital facilities. 

The Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity shared the article “The Syrian regime, between stealing aid and turning them into weapons” which addresses the tragic reality that the Syrian people are living in and threatens to destroy daily life, as thousands of Syrian families struggle to secure their basic needs in light of this harsh reality. Life-saving aid that is directed at the Syrian people goes through a long journey of manipulation and theft by the Assad regime with no UN oversight. They collide with continuous violations by the Syrian regime and violations of the United Nations, and are transformed into tools for killing, oppressing and starving Syrians at the hands of the Assad regime and its militias. 

SACD also made an interview with Ms. Hoda Al-Atassi, Regional Director of the International Relief Organization and a member of the Syrian Association for Citizens’ Dignity, to discuss the latest developments related to Syrian refugees in Lebanon and their possible options in light of the escalating risks of a real war in Lebanon.
