TUNIS, Feb 24 (Reuters) - The main opposition Syrian
National Council (SNC) outlined on Friday its vision for a
post-Bashar al-Assad Syria, proposing an interim presidential
council of national leaders and a truth and reconciliation
committee.
In a copy of his speech, SNC leader Burhan Ghalioun called
for the continuation of the uprising until Assad was ousted or
handed over power as per an Arab League plan.
After that, Ghalioun called for the "formation of a
presidential council composed of national leaders and the
formation of a transitional government of political, military
and technocratic figures who have not fought against the
revolution."
He also proposed the creation of a council that would
address the abuses of the Assad regime and prevent any political
or sectarian reprisals.
"The committee will work to reconcile and restore the sense
of nationalism and human values that have been lacking during
this crisis," he said.
The transitional period would end with elections to a
parliament that would draw up a new constitution.
