15 March 2011 demonstrations across Syria calling for democratic reforms, the beginning of the 'Syrian revolution' in Daraa: On Tuesday 15 March 2011 - dubbed 'day of rage' by activists - hundreds staged protests in Damascus and Aleppo, calling for democratic reforms. Simultaneous demonstrations took place in major cities across Syria. Thousands of protestors gathered in al-Hasakah, Daraa, Deir ez-Zor, and Hama. There were some clashes with security, according to reports from dissident groups. In Damascus, a smaller group of 200 men grew spontaneously to about 1,500 men. Damascus has not seen such uprising since the 1980s. The official Facebook page called 'Syrian Revolution 2011' showed pictures of supportive demonstrations in Cairo, Nicosia, Helsinki, Istanbul, Berlin, and a reportedly storming of the Syrian Embassy in Paris. Recently released Suhair Atassi, became an unofficial spokesperson for the 'Syrian revolution', when she was interviewed by dozens of Arab and international media channels regarding the uprising. There were reports of 6 arrested in Damascus. Atassi paid tribute to 'the Syrian people who took the initiative ahead of the opposition', recalling the popular uprisings that shook Tunisia and Egypt, as after the first day of the uprising there were reports about approximately 3000 arrests and a few 'martyrs', but there are no official figures on the number of deaths - 10 June 2011: Al-Balad neighborhood in the historic district of Dara'a has become the ghetto of death.
