Syria's opposition dismisses amnesty gesture - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Syrian opposition members have rejected an amnesty offer by President Bashar al Assad as a token concession in order to contain a crisis that has called the legitimacy of the current leadership into question.
The deal and the leadership has been 'rejected and revoked', Ammar Abdulhamid, a Syrian pro-democracy activist, said.
Exiled opposition leaders and members met on Wednesday to close ranks and forge a plan for a 'new, democratic Syria', in a gathering of activists 10 weeks since an uprising against Baathist rule began.
During the conference, members of the opposition will form a committee in order to liaise with the international community.
The conference, hosted in the Turkish coastal city of Antalya, brings together a broad spectrum of opposition figures driven abroad over the last three decades; from Muslim politicians crushed in the 1980s to Christians escaping repression."
