This petition had 5,968 supporters
The Historical Holy Shrine of Lady Zainab (Grand- daughter of Prophet Muhammad) in Syria-Damascus has been under constant attack by the FSA (Syrian Rebels) since the violence began in Syria 2 years back. The Holy site is over 1000 years old and is regarded as one of the most sacred sites in Islam, particularly Shia Islam.
We urge the United Nations and UNESCO - World Heritage Convention to declare & enforce a ceasefire around the Historical and Holy Shrine of Lady Zainab to safe guard it from further attacks by the FSA (Syrian Rebels).
