The information this article was given was from activists from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Syrian security forces opened fire on protesters this past weekend, killing 25. This protest brought out at least 1,000 people to join the fight. The article also claims that 2 policemen were killed and at least 20 other people were injured by "armed terrorist groups" that attacked buildings. Throughout these uprisings, the government has called the protesters "terrorists" and armed criminals"; a report written about the protest stated, "The terrorist groups spread fear in the hearts of citizens who called upon the competent authorities to interfere forcefully to protect them and bring back security and stability." The article also claims that since these protests have been occurring, the government has made many crackdowns, causing at least 1,000 deaths (says the United Nations). The article ends by stating that, "despite international calls to halt it's aggressions and sanctions by the United States, Syria has shown no signs of backing down."
