Summary

Mr. Jean-Pierre Taite alerts the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the increase in violence against Christian minorities and the increase in legal restrictions on human rights and in particular religious freedom in Syria. Since the fall of the al-Assad regime in December 2024 and the takeover of power by Ahmed al-Charaa as transitional president, in a context of volatile security situation and tensions growing communities, the country is experiencing a very sharp increase in violence. Ethnic and religious minorities are targeted, particularly Christians whose churches are targeted (suicide attack in June 2025 and death threats written on the facades of churches when they are not directly set on fire). The constitutional declaration of March 2025 establishes Islamic jurisprudence as the main source of legislation, without sufficient protection for minorities. School programs present Christians as “lost and cursed”, messages are broadcast in Christian neighborhoods to encourage conversion to Islam and women are gradually removed from society. Also, given the seriousness of the situation, he asked what means were implemented by the French Government to plead in favor of reforms. constitutional laws in Syria, which guarantee full and equal citizenship to all Syrians, regardless of their religion or ethnicity and how it ensures that laws, including the civil code and criminal legislation, respect freedom of religion, belief and expression.
