National Alliance For Syria: 46 Questions on Syria - a revolution started by graffiti

What’s going on in Syria?
Since March 2011 and inspired by uprisings across the Arab world, millions of Syrians have taken to the streets to peacefully demand the end of the Assadfamily’s 40-year brutal regime and a transition to democracy.2.

What was the trigger for the protests?
The protests were triggered by the torture of children who, inspired by revolutions in Tunisia & Egypt, sprayed anti-regime graffiti in the southern Syrian city of Daraa. What began as provincial grievances against corruption, nepotism, and human rights abuses has now reached a tipping point, with large segments of the Syrian population supporting the fall of the Assad regime – there are major protests in every city, every day.
