You are in the 202nd Witness Revolution diary, bearing witness to pro-democracy movements in North Africa, the Middle East and beyond. We aim here to simply report, from as many reliable worldwide resources as possible, on the successes, challenges or failures of the brave people striving against oppression for representative democracy with civil and human rights. One small bit of assurance that they do not strive in obscurity. Please see the 200th edition where participants shared what this series means to them.
TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS
THE COURAGE OF THE PEOPLE OF SYRIA
Today I chose to highlight some of the amazing images and sounds coming out of Syria, both as a way to honor their courage and determination and also as a way to remind me that the will of the human spirit to be free can be an overwhelming force in the face of such difficult and dangerous circumstances. As time goes on it is easy to get discouraged so I thought this might be a good time to remember.
