At least one person dies from police gunfire in Syria

Cairo. .- At least one person died today because of the shots fired by the Syrian security forces in the town of Yèbles, northwest of the country, according to several activist groups opposed to the regime in Damascus. The group's Revolution against Bashar al-Assad Syria first reported the death of a young man identified as Abdel Menem Ebied in this town, near the coastal city of Latakia, and rose after the death toll to three, but this figure has been confirmed by other sources.

Ebied's death was also witnessed by Dr. Emar Yablo, contacted by telephone by the Qatari television network Al Jazeera. The doctor said the young man, who identified himself as Abdel Razaq Ebied, died from a shot in the head and said that the attack wounded five people. There is confusion about the name of the deceased, but all sources agree on the name.

In addition, the doctor explained that the situation is very complicated Yèbles where unarmed civilians, including women and children, are being attacked indiscriminately by the police, thugs and snipers. The attack began after a meeting with the new governor, according to the doctor, who indicated that there were ongoing demonstrations.

In this regard, the Movement February 5 for peaceful change in Syria said the security forces shot intensively against peaceful people Yèbles. For its part, the group Revolution against Syria Bashar Asad said that three people were killed as they left the mosque of Abu Bakr al-Sadiq after the evening prayer.

Among those killed is Ebied, and two others identified as Wadah Setegri Dain and Hasan. The group said the police have set up barriers around the mosque to prevent the movement of young people. In addition, a source responsible for the General Headquarters of the Armed Forces said today that the number of deaths by gunfire of armed groups after noon yesterday in the village of Nawa in the southern province of Deraa, is seven.

Syria last Friday experienced the bloodiest day since the start of the protests in the middle of last March, which resulted in a total of 112 deaths, according to figures from opposition activists.
