INFORMATION: In...@LAJewsforPeace.orgSyria’s Arab Spring
The Syrian Revolution started in March, 2011 in peaceful protests in the Southern city of Daraa after the arrest of a dozen children inspired by the Arab Spring and their murder in prison. It spread quickly over the country and more than five million Syrians participated in peaceful demonstrations in many major Syrian cities like Homs, Hama and Deir Ez Zor.
The Assad regime opened fire on these demonstrators and killed more than 10,000 of them over six months. In response, the Free Syrian Army formed around Syrian Army defections. Within months the Assad regime was in trouble when Iran and Hezbollah intervened to support the regime, opening the way for ISIS. The Syrian Revolution kept fighting. In September 2015, the Russians intervened to help Assad, killing the Syrian people and their Revolution. 13 million Syrians were displaced inside and outside Syria.
Today, the Syrian people are still determined more than ever to bring down the Assad regime by peaceful demonstrations, but the Assad-Russian-Iranian occupation continues.
