Inspired by the ideals of the so-called Arab Spring, and after the collapse of the entrenched regimes in Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and Egypt, an increasing number of Syrian citizens began taking to the streets. Their demonstrations were peaceful and their demands focused on achieving political and economic reform; positive changes in the regime leading to justice, human rights, equal opportunities and democracy for all citizens.
