Member of the Syrian Opposition Coalition’s (SOC) political committee, Muhammad Qaddah, said that the growing ant-regime protests in southern Syria confirm that the plans to quell the spirit of the revolution have failed. He added that the renewed anti-regime protests in Suwayda and Dara’a provinces demonstrate that the revolution is still alive.
Qaddah said that Syrian civilians in southern Syria have suffered all kinds of authoritarianism and violence at the hands of the Assad regime and its allied militias. However, they have so far remained steadfast and have not fallen for the regime’s tricks to kill the spirit of the revolution in their hearts.
Anti-regime protests were renewed on Wednesday when dozens of people took to the streets in the town of Jassem north of Dara’a city, with protestors demanding the overthrow of the Assad regime and the release of detainees from the prisons of the Assad regime.
Protestors waved the flags of the Syrian Revolution and held banners that read “for the sake of the detainees, we will protest every day,” “our detainees are the secret of our steadfastness and resistance,” and “free the detainees.”
The demonstrators also called on the people of the province to protest in support of detainees, and to demand an end to the arbitrary arrests being carried out by the Assad regime’s forces and the Iranian-backed militias.
