| Khaddam scoffs at life jail term handed down by Syrian court |
| 2008-09-01 |
| Former Syrian Vice President Abdel-Halim Khaddam said Sunday that a life jail term issued against him for "treason" is proof the Damascus government is transforming the country into a prison for its people. "This verdict does not worry me or affect my determination," the former senior official turned opposition figure, who now lives in exile in Paris, said in a statement. "That sentence is in Damascus. This is Gay Paree. You got no jurisdiction here. I scoff: Haw haw!" |
