It was in response to the raid on Aleppo university in may 2012 and Homs student campus. Hunger demonstrations also erupted sparked by the mounting hunger and increasing poverty. Between May and August, hundreds in western and northern Syria have organised anti-government street protests and hunger strikes and demonstrations against poverty which was met with force like tear gas but university students kept ongoing until fighting became more common so protesters ended their peaceful protest movement.https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde24/061/2012/en/ All-out repression: Purging dissent in Aleppo, Syria 1 August 2012 Amnesty International 3 September 2026 Births births in 2012 Category:2012 births Deaths January 11 – Gilles Jacquier, French journalist February 22 – Rémi Ochlik, French journalist and Marie Colvin, American journalist March 26 – Jawan Mohammed Qatna, Syrian journalist, murdered May 28 – Bassel Shehadeh July 18 – Dawoud Rajiha, Assef Shawkat and Hasan Turkmani July 20 – Hisham Ikhtiyar August 20 – Mika Yamamoto September 26 – Maya Nasser References 2012 in Category:2010s in Syria Syria Category:Years of the 21st century in Syria Syria
