Syrian Security Forces Clash

Four people where killed in several Syrian cities on Friday. The cause of these killings came from the aftermath of several violent protesters and security forces. According to Ammar Qurabi, chairman of the National Organization of Human Rights in Syria, the protesters were gunned down by security forces fearing for their own safety. The hundred of protesters rallied for the end of the regime of Bashaar al-Assad and chanted anti-government slogans. Those that dissagree with his regime have protested every Friday after weekly Muslim prayers. Soon after, security forces were deployed to greet the turnouts. It has been said that at least 850 people have died since the protests have started in mid-March.
