All female protest erupts in Syria

Syrian women attend an anti-government protest in Daraa. Tens of thousands of people chanting ‘Freedom!’ held protests in several Syrian cities.

MORE than 1,000 women marched on Saturday in the Syrian city of Banias in an all female pro-democracy protest, a rights campaigner said.

‘Not Sunni, not Alawite. Freedom is what we all want,’ the women chanted, according to the rights campaigner in the city, which has witnessed ethnic tension between its majority Sunni inhabitants and Alawite residents.
