Syrians Protest Against Alcohol Sale Limits and Personal Freedom Curbs

Syrians Protest Against Alcohol Sale Limits

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Damascus to voice their opposition to new restrictions on alcohol sales. The Syrian government has implemented measures that limit the availability of alcoholic beverages, drawing criticism from civil society groups who argue it deepens sectarian divisions.

"Personal freedom is a red line," said one protester, as they called for focusing on more pressing issues like poverty and displacement rather than restricting access to alcohol.
