Syria's most senior diplomat in Britain quit his
post Monday, in protest over the "violent and oppressive regime" in
Damascus, the Foreign Office in London said.
Charge d'Affaire Khaled al-Ayoubi told the British government he
was no longer willing to represent Syria.
The British government said his decision represented the
"revulsion and despair" of Syrians around the world.
"Mr al-Ayoubi has told us that he is no longer willing to
represent a regime that has committed such violent and oppressive
acts against its own people, and is therefore unable to continue in
his position," a Foreign Office spokesman said.
