The popular uprising in Syria continues to spread amid ongoing repression that has left thousands dead. Mass demonstration and strikes have occurred throughout this year.
A renewed call for rolling general strikes to target different sectors of the economy had been called to start on Saturday the 11th of December. These strikes aim to close down most parts of the economy with the ultimate aim of a complete block of all major transport routes in Syria.
The Local Coordination Committee in Syria website says:
"We will work together step by step. The beginning of the strike will be on Sunday, 11/12/2011 with a general strike from 8 AM until 2 PM preventing students from attending schools, followed by the successive stages of the strike." (Read the full statement here.)
