Summary
Who are the Syrian democrats, their organisations, their demands and their modes of action? How can we support their self-organisation, and enable a rights-based political solution?
Description
The peaceful uprising and its armed resistance against the Syrian dictatorship since 2011 succeeded in liberating 70% of the territory in the summer of 2012 and in electing or co-opting democratic local councils. The repression by the Syrian dictatorship and its Russian, Iranian and Lebanese allies forced the democratic resistance into subordination to reactionary factions in the opposition, underground or into exile.
