The Ambassador to Rome of the Syrian Arab Republic, Khaddour Hasan, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry today, 29 May 2012, and declared “persona non grata”.
The Italian Government has thus reiterated its indignation over the brutal violence against the civilian population, for which the Syrian Government has been held responsible.
The provision, coordinated with Italy’s other European partners, was also extended to a number of Syrian Embassy officials.
