Press Release
We Reject the Normalization with the Tyrant and Butcher of Ash-Sham, and We Give Good Tiding of His End
(Translated)

News is still circulating from time to time as leaks and rumors of communication between elements in the Lebanese state and the Syrian regime and its pillars! There are no clarifications or denials heard regarding these contacts from those they are attributed to! This is a matter of concern to the Muslims in Lebanon about the direction of the state and its leadership at the highest level regarding the relationship with the Baath regime and the Assad family and his henchmen, whose crime are not proven against our people in Syria only, but their crimes in Lebanon have been proven towards leaders and political figures. It is also proven that they sent people to Lebanon carrying explosives and the killing and sedition projects, which is known as the issue of Samaha - Mamlouk. Since this is still in the circle of leaks, and takes the form of rumors, we in Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah of Lebanon warn the Lebanese state of taking or attempting to walk in this course, and of conducting actions to test the waters to see the reaction if they take such a move officially ... Especially that this news seems to be in harmony with the movements of the countries that were claiming their enmity of Assad and his regime, such as America and the Jewish entity, which these days looks like it is seeking under several names to keep the Assad regime, the son, and help him through followers, supporters and hidden alliances to take control of the people of Syria once again after torturing, killing and displacing them. And to bring back the guard of the security of the borders of the Jewish entity, as it was forty years ago!!!

We remind the Lebanese state that the Muslims in Lebanon, who are the extension of the people of Islam in Syria, those who remained and those who were displaced, will not accept this normalization with this criminal regime, with weak pretexts such as the supreme interest of Lebanon and communication with the neighbours. Lebanon’s interest is not in being linked to the criminal and his henchmen. The natural communication should be with the real people of Syria, and those from them, who revolted against the tyrant to uproot him, and were prevented by the unification and conspiring of the West and the East against them, and the leaders in Lebanon and others who fit the saying of Allah (swt):

[وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ]“And indeed, the wrongdoers are allies of one another” [Al-Jathiya: 19].

As such news grows, and before it becomes official, we assure the people of Lebanon that every course in this direction is rejected in our Shariah and rejected by the majority of the people of Lebanon. We affirm that whoever stands by the oppressor is unjust and like him, and should be brought to account whoever it may be.

We give the glad-tidings to the Muslims of the people of Lebanon, and the displaced from the people of Ash-Sham, of our confidence in the promise of Allah (swt), who told us that injustice will not last no matter how long it lasts. The oppressor is cursed and is a loser in this world even after a while and will face severe torment in the Akhira. As we proceed according to the command of Allah and seek to liberate the Ummah from the tyrants, we will not hesitate to say the truth and support it until we achieve the promise of Allah (swt), while being confident in His victory and support, just as in the true saying of Allah (swt):[وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ] “…but Allah is the protector of the righteous” [Al-Jathiya: 19].
