Known as Bilad Al-Shaam (Greater Syria) until 1918, Syria is the cradle of great civilisations and the accomplishments of its ancient people are renowned world-over. However with the oppression of its people by a brutal dictatorship, Syria'’s rich cultural heritage and its world standing is threatened today. The Asad regime has been trying to crush the people, with over 8000 killed, 350,000 injured, 200,000 imprisoned and over 22,000 made refugees. Despite this, the calls for freedom, justice and human rights since the start of the Syrian Revolution of 15 March 2011, continues to grow. The Syrians’ resolve is unshakeable and their calls for self-determination and freedom will materialise. Show your solidarity! Join this unity forum – the first of its kind in Britain.
