Just like Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen and Libya before it, the people of Syria have taken to the streets to protest against their government. And like the government in Libya, the Syrian leadership has chosen the way of the gun to answer the protests. Getting any information of images out of Syria is very difficult, but it has been reported that tanks have been deployed against stone throwing protesters in the city of Deraa. It is also thought hundreds of people have died so far in the protests.
Note: Our apologies for the lack of quality in some of the images. Obtaining good images from Syria is very difficult at the moment.
Anti-government protesters take to the streets in the Damascus suburb of Douma April 1, 2011. Protesters took to the streets across the Arab world calling for political change on Friday, the Muslim day of prayer and a weekly rallying point for the wave of unrest in the region this year.
