We were informed that the Syrian Security Forces raided the headquarters of the Assyrian Democratic Organization a second time to arrest more people, where they damaged and confiscated many items.  The headquarters is currently under siege by the Syrian Security Forces. It is worth noting that the overwhelming majority of the individuals who were arrested did not participate in the protests today.

We will supply you with more information as soon as we receive it.
