Syrian Students, Teachers Protest in Hasakah as Militants Occupy Schools

 “We call on the SDF to open our schools because we already were in an 8-month break due to coronavirus, so it is unacceptable to close the schools again,” explained one student.

Protesters including local students held portraits of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and signs denouncing the takeover.

Director of Hasakah Education Ilham Sourkhan also condemned the occupation of schools by SDF forces.
