Syrians protest against attacks against university campuses

Damascus, Feb 11 (Prensa Latina) Thousands of Syrian university students and teaching staff protested today against attacks by the United States and allies on Euphrates University, in the northeastern province of Hasakeh.

The demonstrators denounced during a rally in the central square of the provincial capital, that actions of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) deprived more than 2,500 students from taking their exams at the Faculty of Agronomy.

The governor of Hasakeh, Ghassan Khalil denounced the closure by the SDF of thousands of schools to turn them into barracks and prisons, and to impose on them teachings different from the national ones.

He clarified in this regard that the Al-Sinaa industrial vocational school and the Industrial Institute were turned into a prison housing five thousand members of the Islamic State organization.

At least 2,500 university students were unable to take their exams in the northeastern province of Hasakeh due to obstacles imposed by the SDF.

According to allegations by the Damascus authorities, this militia practices a destructive policy in the education sector by turning schools into prisons and barracks, in addition to seizing hundreds of educational centers, where they impose a teaching approach that responds to their separatist plans.

The attacks perpetrated by Pentagon helicopters and fighters on January 24 left considerable damage to administrative buildings and to the faculties of Civil Engineering and Economics, as well as to the Polytechnic Institute, which interrupted the classes of 25,000 university students.
