(Hurriyet-Turkey) Fehim Tastekin - Ten children living in the Syrian city of Daraa were inspired by the Arab Spring and wrote an expression of freedom on walls. They were arrested by the Syrian intelligence agency. Families of the children applied to the Office of the Governor, but that didn't help. They went to the intelligence offices, but that didn't help either. Finally, the Office of the Governor was raided and the children were taken back. There was a problem however: Nails of the children had been removed and some of them had been raped. The families went ballistic and their tribes were outraged. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets, burned down the intelligence headquarters and the phone company belonging to Assad's cousin Rami Makhlouf. This is how the fear threshold was passed against the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria. 2011-05-20 00:00:00Full Article
