Huge pro-Assad rallies across Syria
Clean Media Correspondent
Damascus: Mar 15: (CMC) Huge crowds rallied in cities across Syria on Thursday in support of President Bashar al-Assad "to make the world hear our voice" on the first anniversary of a deadly anti-regime revolt.
State television showed tens of thousands of people waving Syrian flags and Assad's portrait in squares in Damascus, the northern city of Aleppo, Latakia on the Mediterranean coast, Suweida to the south and Hasaka in the northeast.
The cities have been relatively unscathed by the regime's crackdown on a revolt which erupted on March 15, 2011 and has cost more than 8,500 lives, according to opposition activists.
"After a whole year of pressure on Syria, we want to make the world hear our voice: Leave Syria in peace," a woman on the street told the state broadcaster.
The authorities, which have blamed the revolt on foreign-backed "terrorist gangs," announced a "global march for Syria" to counter anti-regime demonstrations being organised by the opposition across the world.
