Syria: Security Forces Open Fire On 20,000 Strong Sit-In -- The Telegraph
Syrian security forces opened fire on a sit-in of 20,000 anti-government demonstrators in the central city of Homs overnight, sending thousands of protesters scattering.
"The sit-in was dispersed with force. There was heavy gunfire," one activist. There were no details of casualties.
Other Syrian activists living in exile confirmed the reports but said they had not been able to get further details due to telephone communications being cut in Homs.
Activists had said more than 20,000 demonstrators on Monday occupied the main square of Homs, some erecting tents, a day after 11 people were killed by security forces in the industrial city and a nearby town during a day of massive nationwide protest.
