February 2011, schoolchildren affected with what they had seen in other countries like Egypt and Tunis, drew graffiti on a school wall said "the people want to topple the regime.", and “it’s your turn Doctor” meaning al-Assad. The children were arrested, but the shock was from the amount of torture children were subject to. when the children's families asked the police to free their children, when they were told: "Forget your children. If you really want your children, you should make more children. If you don't know how to make more children, we'll show you how to do it."

The protest grew to other areas of the country, on March 16 of the same year, a female-led sit-in in Damascus demanded the release of prisoners unfairly jailed. But police dragged protesters by the hair and beat them.
A day later, a sit-in in Daraa took place, and then on March 18, a protest against the arrests of the children went out, when security forces opened fire, killing at least four protesters and within days, the protests grew into rallies that gathered thousands of people.
People began rallying in other cities across Syria that day, Jassem, Da'el, Sanamein and Inkhil demonstrated as well. But the more people demonstrated in Daraa, the tougher security forces cracked down.
Then many cities started organising demonstration each Friday, like Homs, Deir Ezzor, and Raqqa.
