WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. French Hill (R-AR) and Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA), Co-Chairs of the Friends of a Free, Stable, and Democratic Syria Caucus in the House, issued the following statement after the collapse of dictator Bashar al-Assad's regime: 

“Bashar al-Assad has perpetrated one of the most horrific humanitarian crises of the 21st century. With the help of his fellow dictators in Russia and Iran, Assad has murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children – and displaced millions more. The end of Assad’s brutal regime must be an opportunity for the Syrian people to decide their own future, free of repression and sectarian violence. We urge all regional stakeholders to commit to a political resolution that not only ends this tragic chapter of Syrian history but also lays the foundation for a lasting peace and a future defined by freedom, justice, and reconciliation.”
