Today was the day Syrian protesters hoped more of their compatriots would take to the streets and be heard. This phrase has multiple meanings. It is meant to encourage more Syrians to take to the streets, it is meant also to have people in other countries see what is happening.
It is not just the silence of some Syrians but also the silence of their immediate neighbours, the Arab League as well as the countries, like the US who got involved in Libya but so far is afraid to say or do much about what is going on in Syria.
Good feature article on AlJazeera, telling the stories of 6 men randomly plucked from Syrian streets and into Assad's jails.
Also tomorrow is Global Syrian Day - candlelit vigil in Montreal to remember all the children who have died thus far in the past 4 months of brutality in Syria.
