Syrian Revolution Digest, April 1, 2011
Protests against the regime in Syria continued, yet there was rather little media coverage by international or regional media. Due to strict access control by the government , foreign correspondents in Syria are often kept out of the loop. Arab and regional satellite stations mainly rely on footage distributed through social media channels. The selection below only represents a small sampling of the videos uploaded to Youtube and other channels in the past days.
