Increase in pace and intensity of protests against Damascus authority in As-Suwayda
The pace of popular protests in the city of As-Suwayda, southern Syria, against the Damascus authority has intensified, with a firm rejection of extremism and a call for a civilized secular state characterized by security and safety.
Today, dozens of protesters took to al-Karama Square in a massive demonstration condemning the Damascus authority, holding banners demanding freedom and a civil state, such as: "A Daesh government, not a Syrian government," "al-Julani is a terrorist, the revolution continues," "From Sweida, we want a moderate Sunni president, not an extremist," and "When pigs dress and wear abayas, know that the country is in a swamp."
In a special statement to ANHA's agency, engineer Muthanna al-Hanawi said, "al-Karama Square has been and remains a symbol of restoring the dignity of all Syrians and a square for the free."
He also described the agents as those who "sold out the homeland and their nationalism for their own interests," and emphasized that "today resembles the distant past," referring to the former Ba'ath Party's control, which he described as "tyranny," followed by the subsequent rise of the "terrorist al-Julani," considering that the change had transformed from one tyranny to another.
Al-Hanawi recalled the memory of the martyr Hamza al-Khatib, saying, "Those who killed a fifteen-year-old under the pretext of terrorism are the same ones today killing a child under the pretext of her affiliation with the regime." He appealed to the international community, saying, "Freedom is our demand."
For her part, activist Samaher Laandari said that they renew their weekly protests in rejection of the constitutional declaration, which she described as "reactionary," and which "has transformed Syria into an Islamic caliphate far removed from civilization and a just state."
Samaher Laandari emphasized the important role of Syrian women in building society, criticizing texts calling for the separation of women and men, describing them as "exclusionary" and contradicting the principle of partnership.
She emphasized her rejection of partition plans and called for a civilized, secular, and peaceful state where security and safety prevail.
The demonstration concluded with chants of: "Syria for the Syrians... No to the rule of tyranny."
