Syrian forces continue crackdown - Middle East - Al Jazeera English

Syrian forces continue crackdown - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "Security forces have killed at least five people in Syria, activists said, urging fresh anti-regime protests under the banner of "death rather than humiliation".

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said three people were killed and several more were wounded when security forces opened fire on protesters in the central region of Homs.

The Britain-based organisation also reported "one dead and five wounded in an assault by the army and security forces on the village of Al-Rama" in the northwestern province of Idlib, near the Turkish border.

The security forces went into action on Thursday after mass demonstrations late on Wednesday in several districts of Homs, the Observatory said."
