The citizens of Raqqa have organised a march in protest of Assad accusing the Northern Syrian peoples of treason.

Thousands of Raqqans chanted, “Long live Syrian Democratic Forces, Long live Democratic and Free Syria, Baath regime has no right to say treason” and joined the march.

The march started from Al-Mashlab neihgborhood and continued until the Al-Saa crossroads.

The march turned into a rally in the Al-Saa crossroads. Raqqa Civilian Council Co-chair Ebdullah El Eryan gave a speech there and stated that the city of Raqqa had been attacked by gangs in 2013 and regime forces didn’t defend the people, just stood back and watched.

After several speeches, the rally concluded with the slogans, “Long live free Syria, Long live SDF, death to treason”.
