All the protesters took to the streets to serve the country without being affiliated with a political party or follow other gains. They were independent peaceful protesters who only dreamed of reform, not sabotage, Sheikh of the Revolution said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September, 2011, the military security forces of Raqqa arrested Sheikh of the Revolution for two weeks on charges of participating in the protests. \u201cMany members of the military security forces stormed my house and took me to their center where they ordered me to undress and when I refused, they beat me and insulted me,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early 2012, Sheikh of the Revolution was arrested for the second time. The criminal security forces of Raqqa detained him for 37 days where he was brutally tortured, and insulted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recalling the pain during the arrest, Sheikh of the Revolution said he was \u201cill-treated and was jailed in a cell with many people, including women and children, for more than two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third arrest took place by the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2015. He was arrested in the point 11 (now called the national stadium) on charges of dealing with the Free Syrian Army (FSA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">47 days later, Sheikh of the Revolution was released by some mediators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I never left Raqqa <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sheikh of the Revolution loved Raqqa so much and never left it despite he suffered much there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is proud he took part in 17 protests. The biggest one was called the Grand Hour given 125 people were killed at one time in a shelling by the Syrian government on Raqqa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March 2013, Raqqa was out of the control of the Syrian government forces. The local councils comprising multiple citizens of Raqqa ran it. Then ISIS entered the city in July 2013 and declared Raqqa as the capital of the ISIS Caliphate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(photo) Events to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the Syrian revolution<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2014, fierce clashes between ISIS and the FSA erupted and lasted for three days.
