Chief of the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) Muhammad Shahid Amin Khan stressed that the Syrian army doesn't use any chemical weapons in facing the terrorists, "but those who exploit the mottoes of democracy, freedom and human rights are the ones who use these weapons against all Syrians".

Khan told al-Mayadeen TV Channel on Friday that the Syrian government is well cooperating with the UN investigation mission on the use of chemical weapons, therefore an independent objective investigation based on clear evidence should be conducted.

He pointed out that the armed terrorist groups are using the chemical weapons against the Syrians and accuse the Syrian government, in cooperation with some media.

The Syrian government expressed readiness for dialogue in the interest of the Syrian people, but the opposition rejects dialogue and continues the killing of the Syrian people supported by some foreign countries, he asserted.

Khan considered the terrorist explosions which recently hit Tripoli in Lebanon and many other cities earlier as "directed against humanity" and have "no connection with any religion".

He stressed that the IHRC strongly condemns the terrorist acts as a threat to humanity.
