Syrians mark sixth anniversary of revolution with more defiance

The 15th of March is the anniversary of the start of the Syrian revolution. Syrians mark today the sixth ‎anniversary of their revolution which Assad terrorists and their allies have turned it into a bloody ‎military crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations in a brutal war which claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of  people, and displaced millions of Syrians inside and outside their country. ‎

Syrians seemed defiant and determined to gain their freedom as Qasioun news agency gauged yesterday the opinions of some locals in the Assad-besieged city of al-Rastan in Homs northern countryside. This what one of the locals had to say:" We the Syrians are proud of our revolution. We gave the precious and dear for the sake of our freedom. We grieved the loss of camaraderie and brothers. We will continue our march till victory comes."  

It was the sixth of March when the spark that lit the Syrian revolution was struck: The arrest, detention ‎and torture of 15 young boys from the southern city of Daraa for painting graffiti slogans of the ‎Arab revolution - "As-Shaab / Yoreed / Eskaat el nizam!" "The people / want / to topple the (Assad) ‎regime!" on the wall of a school, copying what they had seen on television news reports from Cairo and Tunis as the Arab Spring was reported live.‎

The boys, aged between 10 and 15, were taken to one of the cells of the Assad Political Security ‎Branch, under the control of the terrorist General Atef Najeeb, a cousin of Bashar Assad.‎

There in the gloomy interrogation room the children were beaten and bloodied, burned and had ‎their fingernails pulled out by a group of terrorists working for the regime.‎

Syrians challenged the iron grip of Assad police rule taking to the streets to protest the ‎unprecedented brutality of Assad terrorists, chanting: "Daraa, we are with you till death." ‎

This video of the first protest which took place in Damascus on March 15, 2011, shows scores of ‎peaceful people ‎marching and chanting: “Where are you Syrian?” in a rally call to encourage more peaceful protesters ‎to join ‎them to demonstrate against the regime of Assad, which met protesters with bullets, barrel ‎bombs, ‎mortar, aerial bombardment and also chemical attacks, napalm bombs, bunker buster bombs and ballistic missiles.‎

"It is not a crisis or a civil war as Assad regime and its allies claim. It is a peaceful and a nationwide revolution against a ‎regime that for sheer brutality, violence ‎and inhumanity had never before been equaled. Assad terrorists’ false claims of fighting terrorism are a mere pretext to justify more repression and killings against Syrian civilians. Syrians ‎assure international, Arab and national opinion that the Syrian revolution is both peaceful and nationwide, Ahmad al-Shehabi, a Syrian opposition activist told Orient Net. ‎
