The problem of school


Last Sunday, school started again in Syria. Half of the children didn't go and some of them demonstrated instead. A rumour says that the government has announced that each person who doesn't go to school would have to pay a thousand dollars. Most of them don't have this sum, but the main problem is that some schools got fired. What can people do, then ?
Students demonstrated in Kanaker, Houran (Daraa), Ma'r Shawreen and Ma'ret Mesrin in Idlib and Hama today. In Homs, the security forces opened fire on the kids' protest and in Damascus they surrounded schools.

Vengeance on family

Kidnapping and vengeance on family member has become common in Syria (french article about it below). Some months ago, a pianist has played a song for Syria in front of the White House ; his family paid, as we can see here with the pictures of his parents.
