It had to happen. The protests spread to Homs, my mother-in-law's hometown. People started out at funerals for killed protesters when more got shot at.
The Syrian government is blaming armed gangs for the unrest. Wow. Probably the armed pro-government gangs who go out and shoot peaceful protesters, if it's not police or the military.
The sad part is that those shot, are not going to the hospital for fear that they will be arrested when they arrive at the hospital and tossed in jail.
First they were just calling for reforms in Syria, now they are asking for a regime change. If they cannot peacefully protest what freedoms do they have?
My hubby went with a Syrian friend to a solidarity vigil in Montreal last Friday on the eve of Syrian independence day. I'd say at least 100 people gathered for the vigil, where they burned candles as night fell.
