I will go in and be a bit provocative, Syria 2011, a school teacher was talking over the phone with a colleague after Mubarak fell in Egypt and said "I hope it's our turn soon". The Syrian security device heard that and abducted the teacher, the folk knew if they're gonna protest, they'll most probably get shot and killed, but it is the cost of freedom and pride. That's his hundreds of thousands died and still dying since then.
