Echoing comments made by Trappist nuns, Archbishop Joseph Tobji of Aleppo said of the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, “Everyone sees very well what the goal is: to increase suffering in the population to fuel popular discontent and thus produce regime change. But this way of acting is criminal. Putting an entire people in distress at a time like this, where there is also the specter of the pandemic around the world, is inhuman.”
