The sit-in was the first of its kind in Syria after 40 years of Assad iron grip and brutal role. It came a day after the demonstration that took place in al-Hamidiyya market in the heart of Damascus, when tens of peaceful protesters marched and chanted: “Where are you Syrian?” to encourage more peaceful protesters to join them to demonstrate against Assad regime.
Assad paramilitary terrorists, the so-called Shebiha, dispersed the peaceful sit-in detaining 32 of the participants.
Those who staged the sit-in were accused of humiliating the dignity of the Assad state, stirring up sectarianism and disrupting the relations between the components of the Syrian people.
Suhir al-Atasi, four family members of the detained-time Dr. Kamal al-Laboani; (Omar, Ruba, Leila and Ammar), Nabil Sherbaji, Kamal Sheikho, Ali al-Meqedad, Shaher al-Wara’, Hesham al-Drobi, Modar al-Asemi, Mohammad Khalil, Nasr al-Din Fakhr al-Din Ahmi, Nisreen Hussein, Fahed al-Yamani, Adel al-Buni, Mohammad Diya’ al-Din Dogmosh, Serin Khouri, Nahed Badawiya, Nart Adbul Kareem, Zukan Nofal, Rayan Suleiman, Herfeen Osi, Abdul Razak Temmo, Mohammad Nassar, Besher Saeed, Sa’ed Sa’eed, Ghaffar Mohammad, Dana al-Jewabra, Wafa’ al-Lahham, Seba Hassan and Badr al-Din Shelash were all detained on that day and then released in batches.
The anti-Assad sit-in in front of the Assad ministry of interior, the anti-Assad al-Hamidiyya protest and the anti-Assad al-Hariqa protest were at the time of the Arab Spring.
Syrians were motivated by their Arab brothers in Tunisia and Egypt who ousted their Tunisian president Zein al-Abidin Bin Ali and the Egyptian president Hosi Mubarak.
Syrians on Facebook and on other social media pages called for peaceful demonstrations and for civil disobedience in all cities. Their aim was to topple Assad regime and the ruling family.
Assad terrorists and their allies have turned the peaceful protests into a bloody military crackdow in a brutal war which claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Syrians, and also displaced millions of Syrians inside and outside their country, Syrian activists say.
