From the memory of the Syrian revolution: 10/09/2011

On this day in 2011: the people of Daraya held a funeral for activist Ghiath Matar, who was killed under torture after his arrest. Despite the presence of regime forces, the funeral turned into a protest demanding the fall of the regime, and the forces responded with live ammunition, resulting in the death of 17-year-old Ahmed Suleiman Ayroot.
