Episode 11 - The Last Straw (May 25 to June 12, 2011)

DISTURBING CONTENT WARNING   There is no turning back for Syria after this episode.   The Syrian Opposition is nearing its breaking point after months of being massacred, mass-arrested, and mass-tortured by the Assad regime.   But all hell breaks loose when the public discovers the torture and murder of 13-year-old Hamza Ali al-Khateeb, leading to the largest protests to take place thus far as well as the first confirmed BATTLE between regime loyalists and armed opposition.   Sources: “We’ve Never Seen Such Horror,” Human Rights Watch Syria by Dr. Samer N.
