In the video, which was published online by the Washington Post on Thursday, a woman identified as Gisela Montes de Oca, who is in her 20s, can be seen in the background holding a can of the chemical, gas the U.S. government believes was used by Syrian President Bashar Assad, who is accused by the U.N. of using chemical weapons last week.

“You saw a horrible, horror-filled, chemical weapons attack by Bashar! We demand that Obama should stop his illegal, illegal intervention in our country,” Montes de Oca can be heard saying in the video.

“I want to be a mother, not a terrorist,” she added.

The video is the latest in a week of statements in which activists have accused the Trump administration of using chemical weapons during a Syrian uprising against the government.

On Wednesday, a senior U.N. official said that “more than 1,000 people in several opposition-held areas of Syria have been killed” in attacks that U.N. officials believed were allegedly carried out by the Assad regime and Syria’s military.

A statement from Trump’s national security council said that Washington is supporting the U.N. effort to “establish the facts” surrounding an alleged chemical incident, without specifically naming Assad or mentioning the U.S.

Activists and news reports about Syria’s civil war have proliferated in recent weeks.
