Syrian Activists Compare Paris Attacks With Attacks by Assad and Russia

Activists in the Syrian town of Kafr Nabl released images and video on November 14 of a protest held in the wake of the previous night’s attacks in Paris. Banners held by the protesters compare the attacks in Paris with the attacks in Syria by pro-Assad forces and Russia, asking, “Killing civilians in Paris is terrorism, but what about killing civilians in Syria by Assad and Russia?!!”

Activists in Kafr Nabl regularly hold protests of this nature, including previous protests in solidarity with slain journalist James Foley and a recent protest where they burned a Russian flag. Credit: Facebook/Raed Fares
