Syrian forces kill protester in Deraa, residents say
Syrian security forces killed a protester in the southern city of Deraa on Sunday, residents said, as the authorities tried to contain three days of protests demanding freedoms and the release of political prisoners.
SYRIAN troops have fired on fleeing residents, killing at least one person in the port city of Latakia where military operations to root out protests against President Bashar Assad's autocratic regime are in the third day, witnesses and activists say.
