The caption in the image reads: “samidun wa-lan narka‘illa li-lah” (“we stand firm/persevere, we will never bow to anyone but God”). The masked figure raising the Syrian flag is standing on a tree whose limbs have been cut off, yet which still stands tall and firm. In the context of this image, the tree symbolizes the resilience and determination of the rebels in Syria, despite the repression of Assad’s regime (illustrated by the cut off limbs).
