[Syria] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 10, 2025, lawyers and civilian activists conducted a peaceful protest outside the Justice Palace in Aleppo, demanding accountability for former regime judges and dismissal of those facing human rights violations related to detainee treatment. The demonstration appears limited in scope and severity.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and specific focus on judicial reform, immediate supply-chain disruption appears minimal unless protests spread or intensify across Syria's economic centers.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests to other Syrian cities, particularly Damascus and economic hubs
• Track any escalation in protest tactics or government response that could affect regional stability
