Syrian Americans in Utah were invited to rally at the Utah Capitol on Saturday.
The rally was designed, organizers said in a release, “to celebrate the liberation of Syria and the end of the Assad regime’s tyranny. This joyous occasion is a testament to resilience and the enduring hope for freedom.”
“Let’s commemorate this monumental moment with community, solidarity, and gratitude. All are welcome to stand with us in celebration and support,” the release said.
