Notes

1 There are exceptions to this, including the role of Riad Seif who is a prominent oppositional figure, held post within parliament and was also a prominent businessman who inevitably benefited from the opening up of Syria’s economic realm.

2 In fact, a number of those within this business-centred civil society have remained supporters of Asad throughout the Uprising.

3 This song emerged from the amateur poet and singer Ibrahim Qashoush who changed the lyrics of traditional songs to criticise Asad. He was later found with his throat cut and his vocal cords removed. There were other targeted attacks on key figures of the Uprising, including Ali Ferzat, a famous cartoonist whose fingers and hands were broken in an attempt to stop him drawing.
