Syria: 32 Dead, Anti-Assad Protesters Stage Largest March Yet

On what is being dubbed "Friday of Freedom Prisoners," Syrian security forces reportedly shot and killed 32 anti-government protesters in various Syrian cities. 23 were reportedly killed in Damascus alone as President Bashar Al-Assad's regime forged ahead with its crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations.

Since Syrian authorities have banned foreign media from entering the country, death tolls cannot be accurately tallied, however various human rights groups say that so far, more than 1,400 people have been killed by Syrian forces since protests began in mid-March.
