    Default Protests in Syria - Discussion Thread

    At least two protesters have been shot dead in the south Syrian city of Deraa as security forces clamped down on a protest rally.

    A resident told R-e-u-t-e-r-s news agency they had been killed by security forces as protesters demanded political freedom and an end to corruption.

    A human rights activist told AFP that four people had been killed.

    For the first time here, I can say that I agree with you.

    Unfortunately, it is also the case in Libya...
