MORE than three million people have signed “the world’s longest love letter,” proclaiming the occupied Golan Heights to be Syrian territory in a national unity initiative started by 14 women on bicycles last week.

The women, from different parts of Syria, started collecting signatures to the letter in Sweida province in the south-west, where they held a demonstration at the government building and unfurled the national flag.

They have since taken the roll of paper to Daraa, Quneitra, Hama and Aleppo provinces, where it has been signed with declarations of love and loyalty under the title “Come Together.”
