Dozens of people in Suwayda province on Wednesday organized a sit-in protest in front of the tomb of the leader Sultan Pasha al-Atrash in the town of al-Qurayya to condemn the deteriorating living conditions and the Assad regime’s failure to provide basic services, as well as to demand political change in the country.
Participants held banners expressing their demands for political change in accordance with UN resolutions, rejection of partition, the release of detainees, and accountability for the corrupt officials and criminals. They also denounced the deterioration of living and economic conditions and the transformation of Syria into a narco-state.
Activists indicated that they aim to expand the scope of the protest movement throughout the province to demand political change and saving the country from its intractable crises.
