Repression in Syria and 352 total deaths

Four people died and several were injured by the police Jable (Latakia), while continuing the wave of arrests of opponents of the regime of President Bashar Al Assad. With these four deaths, reported by a spokesman for the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in London, the death toll since the start of the motion on March 15 rose to 352.

Shortly after the announcement of the deaths in Jable, about three thousand inhabitants of Banias, a town some 50 kilometers, blocked the highway from Latakia to Damascus. So far, the bloodiest day since the beginning of movement is March 23 in Deraa, during which over 100 people died. Yesterday thousands of Syrians took part in the funerals of victims of repression demanded the departure of Bashar Al Assad.

Arrests of protesters continued today in several cities, including Damascus. According to human rights activists, security agents in civilian clothes arrived but carrying arms to the suburb of Harasta, arresting several.
