At least 41 protesters were killed today and another 120 wounded as security forces opened fire on marchers in several areas around Syria. The deaths were the highest single day toll in weeks.
But so too was it the biggest march yet, with estimates that around one million Syrians took part in demonstrations nationwide. The largest rally was in Hama, where 500,000 took part in the rally.
The largest crackdowns were in and around Damascus, with reports that the most killings happened in central Damascus and the largest number of wounded were in the suburb of Duma.
In addition to the usual calls for free elections, today’s rally also centered around demanding that the Assad regime release the tens of thousands of people it has detained since demonstrations began five months ago.
Just wondering who counted all those million people. This figure only comes from the opposition, so surely it is less. Jason please do some analysis and don't just repeat propaganda.
Well, thats fewer than Obama killed with the attack on the Yemen police station.
Assad is doing good. Competing with the US and Israel even.
Hah, Obama the Strong-Man of the Middle East and War-Princess Hillary will push the LAUNCH button any time now.
