Protests have spread throughout the Arab World causing a new chapter to be put down in history; however, every people movement has its own story. None of these are the same, contrary to the belief of many. Each has its own unique economic, political and social factors involved.

The Syrian people were inspired to rise up after the atrocious torture of a group of 10-15 year old students by Government forces. These kids were torture...d by means of tearing off their finger nails, amongst other atrocious actions for the crime of writing phrases calling for freedom on their school walls, expressing their frustration just like any normal children. This is how some of the children looked like after they were released by the Syrian Security forces:

With nothing to lose, the Syrian people have made their move by peaceful demonstration demanding Freedom, Democracy, Equality, Justice, better Education and Health systems…etc. Sadly, the regime replied by opening fire on the protesters, killing many in complete breach of international law and common humane ethics. The use of violence continues against protesters who are determined to keep their demonstrations peaceful.
