Hama: Funerals of martyrs: Yesterday evening on 30-5-2011, a nightly protest of about 2000 protesters took off from the Al-Sarjawi Mosque. They headed towards Nazlet El Jezdan street and through most of the city’s streets. When the protesters reached Jalaa Street, their number had grown to 20,000 protesters. Then they headed towards Al-Baath neighborhood near the oil factory, where there was a huge picture of Bashar Al-Assad that they tore apart. The protesters then marched towards the Al-Hader area to meet another protest there. The protesters were faced by security forces who used live ammunition to disperse the protest. This led to the martyrdom of three people, two of which are from the Al-Hader area. Their funeral took place this noon, on Tuesday, 2011-05-31. The funeral of the 3rd martyr, Ibraheem Subh, took off from the Al-Qasab Bashi Mosque in the Barnawi neighborhood this evening. His funeral turned into a massive protest of more than 20,000 protesters.
