The Syrian government then began suppressing the demonstrations by using violence and extensive use of police and military forces, and many have witnessed several beatings and killings of protesters by these forces. To this day, Assad has been killing his own people by targeting cities and areas containing rebels by using powerful tanks, mortars, rockets and sharpshooters.
