Arab World: Scenes of Eid from Syria, Palestine and Bahrain · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Eid Al Fitr, which marks the end of the Muslim month of fasting – Ramadan, was commemorated with three days of celebrations across the Arab world, or so goes the tradition. Instead, celebrations were muted as Syria buried its dead and Bahrain laid to rest a 16-year-old teenager killed by police.
Syria
Syrian activist Razan Saffour reminds us:
@RazanSpeaks: For Muslims, today was the last day of Eid al-Fitr. In #Syria, over 500 people have been killed by Assad during the past 3 days of Eid.
Dona, who lived in Syria, tweets:
@donatelladr: #Syria tv links Eid wishes to army`s braveness in killing “terrorists”& features soldiers sending personal wishes to families #disgusting
The Syrian regimes, like the other Arab dictatorships, refer to protesters in government-owned and/or controlled media as “terrorists” and “thugs.”

Bahrain
In Bahrain, Suhail Algosaibi tweets:
@SuhailAlgosaibi: A day of mixed emotions; Eid mubarak to all of us in #Bahrain, & condolences to us all on our latest death.
Hussam Al Haddad was killed by riot police on the eve of Eid. According to the Al Jazeera story linked to in this post, ‘Bahraini officials said the security forces were merely following procedures and called al-Haddad a “terrorist”.’
Al Haddad's death reminded Bahrainis of the murder of Ali Jawad Al Shaikh of Sitra, who was also killed  last Eid.
The killing of teenagers for two successive Eids, as well as the arrest of children, has led to netizens rallying for their cause under the hash tag #eid_without_kids
