SYRIAN forces shot dead nine protesters yesterday as tens of thousands of people called on President Bashar to step down in some of the biggest demonstrations since Syria's uprising began in March.
The Local Coordination Committees, a group of grassroots activists, said three demonstrators were shot dead in the central city of Homs, three in the northern province of Idlib, two in Damascus suburbs and one in Latakia.
Defying Assad's military crackdown, demonstraters took to the streets again after Friday prayers across the country, from towns near the western Lebanese border to the desert regions near Iraq in the east.
"Bashar get out of our lives," read placards carried by thousands of Kurds who marched in the northeastern city of Amouda, according to a YouTube video taken by resident.
