- Description
The cartoon shows President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad as a giant standing over Syria and smashing down what looks to be a trolley on to a crowd of people below. The people are holding two signs that say "reforms" and "democracy". Context: Protesters in Syria have been demanding reforms, including true democratic elections and an end to Assad's regime. Assad has been in power since 2000. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based activist group, said more than 2,000 people -- mostly demonstrators -- have died since the uprising began in mid-March.
