In Syria back in 2004 their was a rare protest going on by human rights activits demanding political and civil reforms on the anniversary when the ruling party went to power. Which apperantly said by a witnesses that Syrian Police took like 20 activist. This was among the first protest for Human Rights in Syria were the political activities are controlled with care.
The Syrian Police didn't want the protest to happend and demanded the leader to stop it before it happend and threat them they would go to prison. But he said "We're going to prison, we are not afraid" but then the police angrily told then to leave and so they did.
In present day today many of what is starting in Syria began in Tunisha which began the Arab-movement. Many don't want Syria to be a part of the Arab-movement but at the same time some ask "Why Not?"
On March 15, 2011 was the Syrian Day of Rage which many people went to the streets of Damascus, the capital. then on March 17, 2011 "The Friday of Dignity" in all continued and many protested on Homs, Aleppo, Dara'a and more. But in Dara'a things became more deadly and violent.
But some people say that because Syria's president is so popular they don't really have a reason to join the protest.

Now even women are getting into the protest. Specially since France added the law on Muslim veils and headscarves. France, on Monday April 11, 2011, said they had designed a law to forbit face-covering veils anywhere in public. And that violators would be risking citizenship classes and fines. Belgium responded by saying they also had a similar law that banned covering their face back in 2004 by mayor Maaseik but since they are struggling to meet a new government the laws aren't really talking control over peoples life. And also many more countries aren't saying they are doing the same but that they agree with what the French government has done with the new law.
Now all we mainly hear about are the protest in Cairo, Lybia, etc. and even though the number of deaths in Syria are small their is no way you can avoid what is going on in all these Middle Eastern countries, whether it is big or small. I say this because first they can all come together and become a bigger and more powerful protest or regime. And second because we are all equal and we shouldn't be having to kill other or be killed by your own government to be able to get what you want. This mean that the government should have an open mind to what their people have to say. Because think about this, look now they aren't acting peacefully maybe because they feel as if the governmetn they have doesn't realy care for them as much as the governemt thinks they do everything they can do in their power for the people in their countries that are in the regime or not, including Syria which was doing okay until what happened in Tunisha. But mainly all I say is to think and try to help, a little count. Because what if something similar happened to your country you would most likely be asking for help in any way they can give you help, now wouldn't you?
