This nighttime image depicts a gathering of approximately 10-15 young adult males on a paved street in Homs, Syria. The scene is illuminated by artificial streetlights and building lights. In the center-left, an individual holds aloft a Syrian opposition flag, horizontally striped green, white, and black, with three red five-pointed stars on the white band. Adjacent to him, another male holds a color poster depicting a group of individuals in what appears to be a natural setting, with a smaller Palestinian flag visible within the poster's image. Two figures in the foreground hold white rectangular signs with handwritten Arabic text. One sign reads, "الحرية للجنود السوريين المعتقلين في سجون النظام...وتشملهم العفو العام عن الجرائم الإنسانية" (Freedom for Syrian soldiers detained in regime prisons... and includes them in a general amnesty for humanitarian crimes). The other sign states, "الموت بشار الأسد... الحرية للوطن... أسود الأرض لا..." (Death to Bashar al-Assad... Freedom for the homeland... Lions of the land no...). The participants are dressed in casual attire, including t-shirts, shirts, jeans, and track pants. In the background, urban multi-story buildings are visible; one on the far left exhibits several illuminated windows, and a central building features a repetitive geometric pattern on its facade. A green traffic light is prominent in the mid-ground. The individuals are standing in a group, facing generally forward, suggesting a protest or demonstration.
