The BBC's Fergal Keane speaks to some of the boys whose spraying of graffiti in Daraa Province, celebrating the Arab Spring, sparked the uprising of March 2011 against the Assad regime.

Keane notes that 15 boys from the school were arrested and tortured, leading to mass demonstrations, with other boys killed or forced into exile.
