Protesters in Syria are gearing up for another day of massive demonstrations today despite a pledge from the Syrian government to enact reforms. On Thursday, a spokesperson for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the government would review a longstanding emergency law and consider allowing political opposition groups. The pledge came as more than 20,000 people rallied in the city of Daraa, where state forces killed at least 25 people earlier this week.
