Reuters reported on Monday that syrian security forces opened fire on hundreds of demonstrators chanting against emergency laws in the southern city of Deraa.According to a witness, the demonstrators had converged on a main square in the city, chanting "We want dignity and freedom" and "No to emergency laws."
Syria has witnessed a wave of unrest that began earlier this month with protests to demand major reforms in the country, which has been ruled by the Baath party since 1963.
Officials have said more than 30 people have been confirmed killed in the violence.
But activists say more than 126 people have died, with upwards of 100 killed on Wednesday alone in a bloody crackdown on protests in the southern town of Daraa. Source
