Damscuse - Tal

Tx

Those are narrow streets. Incha Allah they will not be trapped.

Where are they going ?

Its a funarela procession, Bambuser said earlier

*funeral

It sin Damascus, the 'Tal' quarter

*its in

Ahh, ok. Respects.

allah yahmikum

@freedom.hacker Who's the martyr that will be buried?

He said the martyr Mohamed Bader Motmot

In Tal, Damascus Countryside province

@sr Tx for info

الله يحمي أهل التل و ريف الشام الأبطال

This is going to sound stupid, but how do they know they won't encounter hostile people ?

Thats what I thought. Watching the narrow streets and all...

They don't, protests can be attacked at any time by Assad forces.

So everyone in this protest is risking their lives to ask for freedom for Syria

Again, respects.

These must be thousands of people! At least! Mash'Allah

People say goodbye to their families before going out from the house for a protest. There is a chance you won't return

May Allah protect them.

Now the funeral prayer, for the soul of the martyr Mohamed Bader Matmat

Djanaza?

They chant to the father of the martyr saying "Raise your head up high. We are your sons."

@sr What about the grave yards. Do the authorities leave those at peace?

depends on the city/area

often some people die at a funeral they attend, and the next day it is their own funeral

sometimes people die at the grave yard as Assad forces shoot at them

@sr It's a gruesome cycle of death...

rg are there any un monitors to protect these people if the shabiha show up?

In Homs and other cities, bodies were buried in local gardens or even the backyard of a house because they couldn't go to the graveyard under the shelling

un monitors are useless, more massacres have happened since they arrived

@ claudius

They are just a political initiative from the world to convince the populations that they are doing something to help Syrians

but they are just giving Assad more time to kill

@sr Whats your opinion on intervention (of any kind)?

Since more than a year, people have asked for intervention of any kind. (Even the devil is welcome...)

news media tends to completely ignore the protest banners, many of which hare written in plain english asking for military intervention, safe zones, arming the Free Syrian Army, anything

How about the FSA? loosley connected brigades or central organized army?
