Public parks in Aleppo become Public cemeteries

When the cemetery is very far and may cost you your life to bury your relatives, your garden or the public yard can be officially the new cemetery of the town or neighborhood.

People of Bustan al-Qasser in city of Aleppo turned the public yard into graveyard. Abo Ahmed, 50, told Zaman Alwasl, ''it's very dangerous to walk to the cemetery which usually situated in the most of Syrian cities outside the suburbs, besides the circumstances of besiege and snipers who are planted everywhere.

Activists said that public yards are the best place to burry our martyrs.

 ''Here we can document the number of martyrs by name and no one from the Assad regime will exhume or desecrate the bodies,'' activists added.

Syria's conflict began in March 2011 largely as peaceful protests against Assad's rule. It escalated into a civil war after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown on dissent.

More than 100,000 people have been killed in the conflict, according to the U.N.'s recent estimate.
