Students' sit-in revives Peaceful protest to the streets of Al-Suwayda

^{-special
Students from Al-Suwayda governorate continue their fifth sit-in in front of the municipality building, as part of their protest against the strictness of Assad's government, after it refused to change its decision of dismissing teachers who abstained from military service in the Assad's army.}

^{The students wandered the streets of  Al-Suwayda demanding their teachers to be back, holding banners that say "Teachers are a red line" and "Stay away from our schools, we are not a political tool", asserting that their teachers should be brought back to work and that they will not break their sit-in until they return.}

^{Activists from Al-Suwayda declared to Baladi News that dozens of employees have been dismissed recently among which lecturers, engineers, doctors and teachers. Assad's regime resorted to such ways after failing to force young men of Al-Suwayda into military service, they added.}

^{Private sources from Al-Suwayda said to Baladi News that more than 30,000 men have abstained from obligatory military service while the number raised to more than 50,000 when it comes to both obligatory and reserve services.}

^{What distinguishes Al-Suwayda sit-in is the students' rage that became a march along the most important streets. It's noteworthy that some officials from the regime tried to extinguish the students wrath  in the previous sit-ins by giving empty promises about the teachers return which all turned to be sheer lies that provoked the students to be bound and determined to achieve their demands.}

^{It’s worth mentioning that since the emergence of Sheikhs of Dignity group and even after the assassination of Sheikh Al-Bala'ous, Assad's regime didn't dare to arrest any of Al-Suwayda's young men due to their abstaining from military service, it rather resorted to intentionally dismissing employees to force them join military service. On the other hand, some activists said that Assad's government is dismissing them most likely due to its inability of paying their salaries.}

^{The city is lately witnessing some peaceful movements that strongly returned to the streets as the student highly voiced their demands in an attempt to get their rights through peaceful movements and sit-ins, while the Assad's regime, which is accustomed to the policy of bombing and assassinations,  did not have the guts to confront any of these sit-ins until the moment.}
