00:07:48with the Bar Association in the Syrian Arab Republic and the Homs Bar Association, is organizing
00:07:52a training workshop. This workshop seeks to enhance
00:07:55the protection of human rights in Syria, in addition to
00:07:58transitional justice in Syria, and this is very important. It is
00:08:02the struggle that was waged by activists who were documenting
00:08:06the violations of the former regime in the era of the revolution, and it is a continuation
00:08:10of cooperation to strengthen
00:08:15the Bar Association in the Syrian Arab Republic's openness and cooperation
00:08:19with the mechanisms and the Human Rights Council, including the Office of the High Commissioner

00:08:29and on the third of the month,
00:08:33there will be a discussion session, and on the 6th of May, the second course will be for another

00:08:43Bar Association, we set a plan
00:08:45for the development of the profession and its advancement
00:08:48and raising its level. This led us to sign
00:08:54international organizations, and there was a memorandum of understanding between
00:08:57us and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the goal
00:09:01of which was to raise the level
00:09:04training was conducted in Damascus
00:09:07and Aleppo, and currently we are in Homs
00:09:10Governorate. The target group is a segment of male

00:09:17of names for this training is done through
00:09:20the Homs Bar Association Council and the Accounting and Accountability

00:09:27their dissatisfaction with the closure of some roads due to the ongoing
00:09:31asphalt work on the Daraa highway, pointing
00:09:34out that the traffic diversions and temporary
00:09:39in movement and access to residential neighborhoods.
00:10:02The problem is this road that they closed for us, I mean, it's the biggest, biggest, biggest
00:10:06problem, I mean, we suffered from it. I mean, now there's a woman over there on the other
00:10:10side, may God have mercy on her and on those with her. She had a disease and they wanted to take her
00:10:14by ambulance. They started going
00:10:16the hospital. And the engineer, may God give him strength, is working on
00:10:20the road to asphalt it and so on, but you closed it from above, from the
00:10:24bypass.
00:10:34We have finished the scraping work on the road leading from Damascus towards
00:10:38Daraa, and after we finished the scraping work, it was closed
00:10:42so that we can start the asphalt work. But the asphalt work, first of all, I have
00:10:4615 obstacles on the road from
00:10:49one side to the median, and this is for irrigation water for the
00:10:53median because there are agricultural works. We also have power
00:10:56supply for the lighting poles that are being installed
00:10:59in the median, in addition to the electrical supply for traffic
00:11:03lights. So I have 15 obstacles, meaning 15
00:11:06excavations are present in the middle of the road. So we have
00:11:10a technical work that must be integrated with the required quality
00:11:13to achieve the desired result that satisfies all
00:11:16citizens.

00:26:28a eulogy for me. They visited me in Palmyra after 20 years.
00:26:32To prepare for the attempted coup against Hafez al-Assad, how
00:26:36did you uncover it? What should I do? I told him it was my first time to be executed.
