Hundreds Demonstrate in Tripoli Against Syria Crackdown
Hundreds of Islamists held a protest in the northern port city of Tripoli after the Tarawih prayers on Wednesday night to condemn Syria’s deadly crackdown on protestors calling for reform.
Islamist and Salafist groups, in addition to al-Jamaa al-Islamiyah and Hizb ut-Tahrir held the demonstration in Tripoli’s Abi Samra neighborhood in support of the Syrian people.
The protestors condemned “the massacres committed by the Syrian regime against demonstrators” in the cities of Homs, Deir Azzor and Hama.
The anti-Assad demonstrators marched through several Tripoli streets all the way to al-Shiraa street where they held prayers for the soul of those killed in Syria.
