Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood Asks Assad to Stop Violence in Syria

Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood urged Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to stop using force against protesters and to listen to their pro-democracy demands.

“We strongly condemn the use of violence that has left hundreds of martyrs and injured people among the heroic Syrian protesters,” it said in a statement posted on its website. “We ask the Syrian president to respond to the demands of the people for real and serious political reform.” The Syrian regime should “stop monopolizing power in the hand of a single party and one group and move toward a multiparty political system.”
