The latest from Syria:
[Human rights researcher] Razan Zeitouna said activists had listed names of 23 protesters shot by security forces in Friday's crackdown, adding that a further two victims were yet to be fully identified. … The dead included two boys named Aiham al-Ahmad, 11, and 16-year-old Ahmad Bakr. They were shot when police officers opened fire on Friday, after their vehicle crashed into a wall and was attacked by protesters, according to a witness. … After hitting several protesters with the vehicles, one of the cars crashed into a wall, prompting the officers to jump out and open fire.
More brutal details:
[A]n eyewitness [in Damascus] has told Al Jazeera that pro-regime thugs with iron bars have attacked a group of 500 to 700 worshippers as they left the Dahabiyye Mosque in Bab Sriejeh, in the Old City, after Friday prayers. Protesters had planned a demonstration to start after the prayers but the imam had warned against protests starting from his mosque. The thugs were waiting outside the mosque, said the eyewitness, suggesting they knew a protest was planned.

YouTube video appears to show protestors in Berze, a suburb north-east of Damascus, using back alleys to protest, which activists said was a new strategy to avoid protestors coming under fire from snipers, which have been used to kill protestors on previous Fridays.
The protesters in the video can be heard calling for more people to join them in the streets chanting “Feza'a,” a traditional Arabic expression for SOS. They also chant: “We are victorious, we are all lions and tigers.” Their signs read: “We don't want anyone who kills our family and children” and “Go away we don't love you”.
