Syria holds massive rallies to 'support Homs' - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets across Syria following Friday prayers, activists said, protesting against President Bashar al-Assad and defying an intensified military crackdown on their uprising.

Demonstrations demanding an end to Assad's rule broke out in the Medan district of Damascus, the besieged city of Homs, Latakia on the coast and the southern city of Deraa.

About 400,000 protesters came out in the eastern province of Deir Ez Zor, on the border with Iraq's Sunni heartland, activists said.

'Demonstrators have begun to march in various Kurdish towns' in the northeastern province of Hasaka, including Amuda, Derbassiya and Ras al-Aim, said Abdel Karim Rihawi, head of the Syrian League for Human Rights."
