The United States on Monday aimed at Syria’s General Organization of Radio and TV for sanctions in order to force down the Syrian government to halt the violent crackdown on rebels.
“The Syrian regime’s use of state entities to repress and attack civilians has imposed a devastating toll on the people of Syria,” the US Treasury said in a statement.
“The United States has consistently stood against this abuse and has taken strong steps to target the regimes ability to act against the Syrian people.”
According to the United Nations, Syrian forces have killed over 7,500 civilians during its so-called crackdown on rebels against President Bashar al-Assad.
Adam Szubin of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control said, “The Syrian General Organization of Radio and TV has served as an arm of the Syrian regime as it mounts increasingly barbaric attacks on its own population and seeks both to mask and legitimize its violence.
“By taking this action today, Treasury is sending a clear signal that it stands with the Syrian people.
“Any individuals or institutions supporting its abhorrent behavior will be targeted and cut off from the international financial system.”
