Demonstrators in Deir ez-Zoor burn Assad pictures (video)

Hundreds of Syrian demonstrators took to the streets for the second week on Wednesday (May 1) in Deir ez-Zoor countryside, chanting anti-Assad and anti-SDF slogans, burning pictures of Bashar Assad and calling to topple the Assad regime, local media reported.

Peaceful demonstrators hit the streets in al- Al Shuheell town in Deir ez-Zoor countryside against the rise in the fuel prices and the supply of fuel to the Assad regime, Deir ez-Zoor 24 reported.

The demonstrators also protested against the security chaos and the deteriorating living conditions.

Last Sunday, dozens of protesters who took part in peaceful demonstrations were arrested in al-Tayyna town and al-Zzir village in Deir ez-Zoor countryside.

Yesterday, Tribal elders in Deir Ez-Zoor presented a list of conditions to stop their sons' protests against the PKK-affiliated SDF.

Releasing the detainees at SDF centres, ending night raids, giving locals a role to run their areas and dealing Deir Ez-Zoor people as Syrians in Raqqa and Hasaka under SDF control are treated were the main demands in the list.

US-backed SDF announced on March 23 that they took control over the village of Baghouz, the last area held by ISIS.
