Scores of Pro-Democracy Activists Killed in Syria Despite Peace Plan

HeadlineNov 07, 2011

In defiance of a peace plan agreed to last week, Syrian forces continue to attack Homs and other cities. Pro-democracy activists say at least 23 people died Sunday, including at least 16 in and around Homs. The United Nations estimated more than 3,000 people have died since protests began seven months ago. On Sunday, Syrian activists gathered outside the Syrian embassy in Amman, Jordan.

Unidentified Syrian: “What a state we are in at this time of Eid. This year’s Eid comes amid destruction, killing and displacement. We are here near the (Syrian) embassy to say to this criminal regime that they have lost legitimacy and they must go.”
