New day of protests in Syria, specifically in the town of Dera, south of the country, after yesterday thousands of people involved there at the funeral of a young man who died Sunday during protests. "He is holding a rally near the mosque of Al Omari," said one witness, who requested anonymity. In the mosque there are 300 injuries because the scene is transformed into a field hospital after the attacks of the last days of the police against the people.
The protesters are calling Deraa hold a nationwide protest on Friday. Until then continue to hold anti-government protests at the gates of the mosque. For its part, the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights has condemned the arrest of at least five people including a prominent opposition activist, last night in Deraa.
Police arrested the activist Isa al Musalman, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Democratic Arab Union, and took him to an undisclosed location, claimed the Centre in a statement. The Centre has also condemned the detention in Damascus of the writer and political activist Lui Hussein, who showed their solidarity with the participants in the demonstrations that have shaken the country.
Apparently, the Syrian security forces stormed the house of Hussein to arrest him when his family was away from home. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday dismissed the governor of the province of Deraa by the death of demonstrators. On Tuesday, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said it was "very concerned" about the deaths of six people in Syria due to the repression of the protests, insisting that it must end its "excessive use of force against peaceful demonstrators.
" In recent days there have been various concentrations at various points in Syria for political reform in this country, which until now had not been infected by the popular rebellions in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Barein or Yemen. Syria has lived since 1963 under emergency law, which prevents the call for public demonstrations
