Fuel price hike sparks widespread protests across Syria -

A sharp rise in ​fuel prices at the weekend has sparked protests across Syria, in the country's most widespread demonstrations ‌since the toppling of Bashar al-Assad almost two years ago.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, that demonstrators burned tyres and blocked key roads, including the highway linking the capital Damascus to the industrial hub of Aleppo, after Syria's government on Saturday raised diesel prices by 40% to 175 Syrian pounds ($1.32) a ​litre.
