SYRIAN communists led a demonstration in the country’s north-eastern Hasakah province on Wednesday calling for US occupying forces to leave, accusing them of committing war crimes.

Thousands took to the streets denouncing the imperialist power for attacking educational facilities and also took aim at the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) which controls the area.

They are accused of depriving local students of an education as they oppose the official curriculum of the Syrian Ministry of Education in what is a long-running dispute.
