The 2011 Syrian protests were expected to begin on February 4, 2011 as social media mobilised the people of Syria for rallies demanding freedom, human rights and the end to the emergency law. Protests were also scheduled for 5 February in front of the parliament in Damascus and at Syrian embassies internationally. The planned protests has been named "Day of Rage." President Bashar al-Assad has declared that his state is immune from the kinds of mass protests taking place in Egypt. Al Jazeera also reported plans to beef up security for the planned "day of rage." However by February 4th on one of the days set for the protests Syria was quiet.
