Syrian opposition calls for strike on Sunday

For the first time since the beginning of the revolution, the Syrian people announces a country-wide general strike under the name of "Dignity Strike", AP reported according to a press statement.

The "Dignity Strike" campaign has already gained considerable momentum on Facebook in a very short period of time. The "Dignity Strike" demands are: the release of all "dignity and freedom revolution" prisoners and the withdrawal of the army and security forces from all Syrian cities. The revolution youth believes that, with this initiative, they could transfer the revolution to a new phase, bringing them closer to end the Assad regime’s reign.

The activists insist on the accelerating nature of the strike and hope that it will sow the seeds for organized civil work, reaching the stage of civil disobedience, and freeze all aspects of life, in protest to the killing machine and escalation of regime's violence against unarmed civilians.
