Closed 85 signatures

What the petition asks

We demand the UK Government use its international powers and standing in order to pressurise Russia so as to end the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure in Syria, as well as to negotiate access routes with Turkey, for medics and medical supplies to Syria.

-1557 civilian victims in July 2016 alone
- Over 1,000 deaths at the hands of the Regime and Russian forces.
- 25 medics and civil defense personnel dead in July 2016, alone
- Russia has killed more civilians than ISIS or Assad

"despicable pattern of unlawful attacks deliberately targeting medical facilities (Amnesty International, 2016)."
