Protests erupted in Aleppo to demand accountability for attacks on an Alawite religious shrine, stressing the need for non-sectarian governance in Syria.
Protesters' signs articulated a clear message: 'No to burning holy places and religious discrimination. No to sectarianism. Yes, to a free Syria,' reflecting deep-seated concerns.
The Alawite minority in Syria fears persecution due to their connection with the Assad family, who ruled with an iron fist for over five decades.
As an often misunderstood sect, the Alawites represent a complex religious and cultural identity in Syria that has historically faced both privilege and persecution.
