Bashar Al-Assad and Saima Jamal

Mac Leod Trail: Signs accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of being a murder, and depicted him sitting in a bathtub full of blood, according to Metro News. One motorist driving by on Mac Leod Trail honked his horn and gave protesters the thumbs up through his sunroof. The protest was just one of many held across the world in solidarity with the people of Aleppo – a city reportedly undergoing heavy bombardment since a ceasefire was lifted last week. Protest organizer Saima Jamal said many of the refugees taking part in the protest would never dream of such freedom under the Assad Regime. If they did they would be immediately jailed. These people never had a chance to express their political opinion in Syria, she said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
