Arab Jurists Union’s Representative in Geneva: Justice Palace Bombing Aimed at Terrorizing Lawyers and Judges

Arab Jurists Union’s Representative in Geneva Dr. Elias Khouri said on Thursday that the message that terrorists wanted to deliver through targeting the Palace of Justice in Damascus is terrorizing lawyers and judges, noting that the Justice Palace bombing is similar to the bombing which targeted al-Ikhbariya channel yesterday.

In an interview with the Syrian Arab TV, Khouri stressed the necessity of seeking justice from the parties which encourage and fund terrorism which is aimed at destroying Syria as they did in Iraq and Libya through criminal companies such as Black Water which is sending mercenaries to kill innocents in Syria.
