Movement for Justice and Development in Syria

The Movement for Justice and Development in Syria (Arabic: حركة العدالة والبناء في سورية) is a political movement founded and based in London, United Kingdom. The group describes itself as "committed to peaceful, democratic change in Syria, and the creation of a modern state which respects human rights and promotes economic and social development."[1] Its chairman, Anas al-Abdah, has been vocal in criticizing the actions of the Syrian government throughout the 2011 Syrian uprising.[2][3]

The group, which openly advocates for the removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, is banned in Syria.[4]
