Protests continue in Syria

  • 12 years ago
Protests rage in Syria as international pressure increases on embattled president Bashar al-Assad.

This video shows what activists say are demonstrations in the town of Talbiseh.

Reuters could not independently verify the footage.

The demonstrations come amid increasing violence in the war-ravaged country.

This amateur video reportedly shows Damascus residents digging a mass grave.

Activists say 30 people died on Saturday when government forces shelled a funeral in this suburb of the capital.

The deaths come as several world powers demanded a transitional government be put in place to end violence now well over a year old.
