Crime is relative in Assad’s "law dictionary"

Crime is relative in Assad’s "law dictionary"
A section in Assad regime’s Tishreen newspaper entitled Anti-Corruption, there is talk about firing 4 workers for reasons to do with corruption. The report headlined "Forgery perpetration and irregularities committed in a building permit in Damascus’ al-Qanwat.”

It is mainly talking about two of the fired employees, a municipality policeman and an engineer who messed up with the building construction set rules. 

 

Although corruption is corruption, however miner it be, non-Syrian readers might be wondering why Syrians revolted against a regime that is boldly and publicly charging a policeman of corruption in a government national newspaper. 

In fact, Syrian desperately wish that all crimes and violations committed by any citizen – whatever post he/she holds and whatever the status is in the society – are of this nature and dealt with in the same manner as such. 

If corruption were to have been suppressed regularly as such, Syrians would not have seen all these crimes and atrocities being perpetrated against them. They would not have seen half of the Syrian population uprooted and displaced or half a million killed or around a million handicapped or almost half of the country in ruins.  

 

To go back to the penalty leveled at those 4 corrupt people, it is worth mentioning that had they had a connection with any of the crime perpetrators, i.e., the Assad junta, they would not have had any punishment of any sort. 

We read such a "brave" report in Tishreen newspaper simply because those 4 corrupt employees have no connections. The reporter made a hero out of herself at the expense of the weak and the helpless. But when it comes to "corruption whales", no reporter in Assad’s media would dare say a word.

In Assad’s bloody kingdom, little corrupts get punished, but actual criminals get praise as homeland defenders.
