Assad forces storm campus of Damascus University, arrest students

Assad forces stormed Monday the campus of Damascus University, arresting number of anti-regime students, according to Revolution General Commission.

The 32-month-old war in Syria has emboldened a state of fear among university students who are against Bashar al-Assad, many arguments inside the campus ended up by arresting them.

Activists said it was not the first time forces loyal to Assad had entered the dorms. There’s state of fear prevailing everywhere. Some students are ‘Shabiha’, pro-Assad militia, ''they practice the same nasty and dirty ways with their colleagues like beating and arresting them on behalf of security forces,'' they added.
