The Syrians back to the street despite the measures taken by the Government

Several thousand people gathered again in the vicinity of the Al Umari, the heart of the protests in the Syrian city of Deraa, asking for "freedom and revolution", despite the president's promises to consider political reform to be released hours earlier. All sources of assured solvency elmundo. is that since the government spokesman announced plans to change the president, there were four deaths in that place.

Other witnesses quoted by Reuters say talk of six people. The same agency later reported that Syrian security forces have withdrawn from the mosque. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has ordered up a committee to raise the standard of living and studying the possible elimination of the emergency law in force in the country for 48 years.

The announcement was made in a televised presidential spokesman counselor, Buzeina Shaaban, who has denied that Assad had ordered firing on protesters in the city of Dera.

"I witnessed the instruccioón of His Excellency of munitions of war should not be fired, even if the police, security forces or state officials were being killed," he added. In addition, the government will consider introducing a law that enables the creation of political parties and "hear requests from citizens."

In any case, the city continued protests in the context of funerals for the victims. In addition, activists called protests across the country by mail, Twitter and Facebook for tomorrow Friday and fear further violence.
