Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights advocate Tawakkol Karman has lauded the Syrian revolution, calling it a testament to moral fortitude.

In a Facebook post reflecting on the fall of the al-Assad regime, Karman contrasted the regime's brutal legacy—a million dead, countless disappeared, and millions displaced—with the revolutionaries' surprising restraint.

She highlighted the absence of widespread revenge, emphasizing the revolutionaries' commitment to forgiveness, discipline, and ethics during their advance on Damascus and other cities. No widespread acts of revenge, lynching, or looting were reported.

Karman believes this elevates the Syrian revolution to a position among history's most significant moral uprisings, showcasing the human spirit's capacity for redemption.

She compared those who fail to recognize this achievement to those who blindly follow, unable to see the momentous display of human resilience and moral strength.
