People in occupied Golan commemorate Martyrs’ Day anniversary

People in the occupied Syrian Golan have stressed that history is made by the martyrs’ sacred blood and sacrifices that protect the independence of the homeland, voicing their adherence to the martyrs’ course in confronting and resisting all forms of occupation.  

Marking Martyrs’ Day in Syria, people in the occupied Syrian Golan on Friday gathered at the squares of the occupied towns of Beq’ata and Majdal Shams. They visited the martyrs’ Monument where they laid wreathes and carried placards glorifying the martyrs and their sacrifices.

 Martyrs’ Day in Syria commemorates the hanging of prominent intellectual, political and cultural figures in Damascus and Beirut on May 6, 1916 by the Ottoman despot Jamal Pasha who aimed at suppressing the Syrian revolution against the Ottoman occupation.

In a statement during the gathering held at Sultan Pasha Al-Atrash Square in Majdal Shams, Asem Al-Wali, an ex-prisoner who was liberated from the Israeli occupation jails after 25 years of captivity, said that the sacrifices of the martyrs have made Syria’s history, pointing out that the people in Golan offered convoys of martyrs in defense of the homeland against the Ottoman occupation as well as the French colonialism and the Zionist occupation.

He added that the sacrifices of the martyrs of the Syrian Arab Army in the confrontation of the terrorist war that have been waged on Syria have made Syria’s victory and drawn a new map for the region.

On his part, Dean of the Syrian prisoners Sidqi Al-Maqt hailed the heroic deeds and sacrifices of the Syrian army during the past decades, affirming that the blood of the martyrs will be the beacon for the coming generation to continue their struggle against occupation and aggression.
