This weekend, stand up and be counted
Four years ago this week, the Syrian people rose peacefully to reclaim their dignity. They chanted for freedom – freedom of speech and freedom from dictatorship. Many of these peaceful protesters were hunted down by the Syrian regime and killed or disappeared. Now they are also facing the threat of Isis and other extremists.
What happens in Syria is a part of our interconnected struggle for a better world. Let’s stand up and be counted this weekend for a peaceful and dignified future for our Syrian sisters and brothers. A list of events marking the anniversary is listed below, ordered by country and then city.
