Hundreds of Syrian Christians demonstrated in Damascus on December 24, denouncing the burning of a Christmas tree in Hama by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the extremist group that seized power following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government.
Carrying wooden crosses and the Syrian flag, protesters marched through the capital to the Greek Orthodox Patriarchy in Bab al-Sharqi, chanting demands for Christian rights.
Protests also erupted in Sahnaya, Jaramana, Hama, and other areas, with some Christians reportedly arming themselves against HTS militants.
Video footage from December 23 showed a large Christmas tree set ablaze in Suqaylabiyah, a Christian neighborhood in Hama. The incident, attributed to foreign militants under HTS’s command, sparked outrage. Reports indicated the attackers included fighters from Chechnya and Uzbekistan.
