| Blood for Lions! More protests in Aleppo and across Syria in support of Deraa as Hama Rules play out in "slow-motion," and the world is too busy pontificating over significance of Bin Laden's death.
Putting our Body-Snatching appellation in perspective, the number of detainees and the missing to date could exceed 8,000. Most detainees come from Deraa and neighboring communities, Zabdani, Madaya, Homs and neighboring communities, Lattakia, Jableh, and Tartous. The Body-Snatching Campaign continues.
Over 100 tanks and armored vehicles have been sighted in the vicinity of the Rastan and Hama cities in Central Syria. The residents of both cities have been conducting so-called "cleansing" campaigns removing every trace of Assad rule from their neighborhoods, be it statues, graffiti and/or posters, despite previous bloody crackdown by security forces. 18 people were killed in the peaceful protests in Rastan on Friday April 29.
Army troops and tanks have also laid siege to the coastal city of Banyas, where daily protest have been conducted over the last week, with protesters calling for toppling the regime. Still, over 2,000 protesters held demonstrations in the city today.
Other cities and towns under siege include: Kisweh, Mouaddamiyyah, Darayyah, Douma, Harasta (all suburbs of Damascus) and Talbisseh (Homs).
Security forces raided the Damascene suburb of Saqba making hundreds of arrests. 150 students at the University of Damascus held a brief sit-in in solidarity with the people of Deraa.
1,000 protesters held a demonstration in Seif Al-Dawleh Neighborhood in central Aleppo today that was quickly broken down by security forces in uniform and civvies with dozens of arrests made.
300 protesters held a brief demonstration in Darayya despite the siege. 2,000 held protests in Homs's Bab Al-Sibaa Neighborhood calling for toppling the regime and lifting the siege ion Deraa, Talbisseh and Rastan.
The Syrian newspaper Al-Watan claims Assad told a group of dignitaries from the northeast that the army's mission in Deraa "will be over soon" and that "all world states can witness developments like those in Deraa." |
