The Syrian Coalition highly praises the demonstrations that took to the streets of many towns and villages across Syria on Friday, August 4, to reaffirm commitment to the guiding principles of the revolution and its demands.

The Friday demonstrations carried abundantly clear, unmistakable messages that need no further explanation or interpretation as evidenced by the flag of the Syrian revolution which was raised above all other flags and banners. Rallying around the flag of the revolution, the Syrian people have once again showed unshakeable determination to regain their legitimate rights and to keep on the path set for them by the flag of the revolution to freedom and salvation from all forms of injustice, tyranny, terrorism, and extremism.

The Coalition reaffirms full supports for the thousands of demonstrators who took to the streets to preserve the true character of the revolution. The Coalition stresses that the Syrian people will not accept any attempts to pressure them into giving up their demands for freedom, justice and dignity. Preserving the unity of the Syrian people and the integrity of Syria’s territory is only option that is acceptable to the Syrian people under a new free, democratic system of rule that guarantees respect for human rights, freedom, and dignity.
