Activists of the Freedom Convoy march with independence flags as they shout slogans against Syria's President Bashar al-Assad during a gathering in the Turkish-Syrian border town of Kilis, Gaziantep province, January 12, 2012. Hundreds of Syrian and international peace activists met in the Turkish border town of Kilis and formed a 'Freedom Convoy' to attempt to cross into Syria, to take humanitarian aid to the Syrian people. They will stage a three-day sit-in protest if Turkish or Syrian authorities refuse to let them cross. REUTERS/Umit Bektas (TURKEY - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST)
