His arrest helped trigger the uprising against Syrian President Assad's rule.

But 10 years on, Bashir Abazayd, 25, wonders whether the revolt was worth it. (1/6) nbcnews.to/3tvzyAk

Bashir was a teenager when, he says, he was arrested and accused of scrawling anti-government graffiti on the walls of his school in the Syrian city of Daraa.

Authorities' treatment of him is widely considered to be the fuse that sparked the uprising against Assad. (2/6)

Bashir has given conflicting accounts about his involvement with the graffiti. He now says that he and his friends had nothing to do with it, but that he was arrested anyway.

No court or prison records publicly confirm if Bashir was arrested over the graffiti. (3/6)

Texas Republicans are rolling out a slew of restrictive election bills, taking particular aim at early voting after Democrats enthusiastically embraced the practice last year. nbcnews.to/2PYoQUy

More than two dozen GOP-sponsored elections bills are under consideration in the Legislature as lawmakers seek to tighten ID requirements and voter rolls, limit early voting and up the penalties for errors.

Two Senate bills propose barring tents and garages for early voting, potentially targeting Harris Co.'s drive-thru early voting, which occurred in tents and garages. Republicans repeatedly sued over drive-thru voting last fall, but courts refused to toss out the 127,000+ ballots.
