Syria - starting it's 7th month of demands for the fall of the Regime.

I have read that the number of 'martyrs' has risen to 3410 people. Those are people who died in the hands of Bashar Al-Assad's regime. They may have died shot in the streets, they may have died when the house they were in was shelled, they may have died in custody and been released later to family. 

In most if not all cases they died because they wanted FREEDOM. Here's a link to the local coordinating committee from a couple of days ago with a breakdown of where those deaths occurred and if they were men, women or children. It doesn't include the latest deaths - yesterday the count was 47.

Also one must bear in mind that the number of death's only includes CONFIRMED deaths. If your brother Ahmed has disappeared - he's just disappeared. Until they have a body he's not included in the deaths. The number of disappeared is over 3000 but this number has not been updated since early August. I am sure it's closer to 4000 at this point. There are still 10 000 confirmed in jails across Syria. And when there is no room in jails they use school, stadiums, anything large enough to herd people.


When will this insanity stop? When will Bashar and his thugs finally realize that they can never oppress the Syrian people again because they are no longer afraid. This Friday was dubbed "Friday of We will continue until the fall of the regime".
