Have been set for this afternoon's funeral of the victims buried in mass grave discovered yesterday near the cemetery of Dara, south of Damascus. According to some sources, it would be at least 40 bodies, with the disfigured face to avoid recognition. Immediately after the funeral, the activists announced, there will be a great event.
After the discovery of the pit, the army has now surrounded the area, imposing a curfew and allowing citizens to leave the house for only two hours a day. Yesterday, the Syrian Interior Ministry had denied the report, speaking of a "campaign of lies against Syria," but some home videos have proven the discovery of the bodies.
If today was a flop the general strike called by activists, these were not stopped fighting in the country. "People are afraid to expose themselves that way - said an employee of Damascus who prefers to remain anonymous - not present at the workplace means being against the regime, we can not risk." Would be at least eight victims of the bombing and shots fired automatic weapons today in Tal Kalakh and several wounded in the streets.
A manager of the Syrian army has instead announced the death of the head of the secret police of Homs, Colonel Muhammad al Abdallah, who was killed "in an ambush by four armed men" who would then fled to Lebanon. A spate of violence that not even the president, Bashar al-Assad - which are directed towards the protests - may continue to ignore.
According to the newspaper 'Al-Watan', very close to the government, Assad has admitted some mistakes of the security forces in suppressing the anti-regime demonstrations. Mistakes imputatili the lack of experience in addressing these situations. This is why the President has announced that thousands of agents will be required to undergo a period of further training.
Opening of the regime but do not stop the work of international diplomacy. To emphasize the need for sanctions directed against Assad - including the freezing of its bank accounts in Europe and the limitation of freedom within the EU - was now the German foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle.
Measures that may already be on the table the next Council of EU foreign holders of next Monday. After the European Union, Switzerland has imposed sanctions on the Syrian authorities to 13, with measures include freezing the assets of the scheme and the ban on travel to Switzerland. Counterflow of the Moscow government, already critical of an intervention in Libya International: President Dmitry Medvedev announced that he will support any UN resolution against the ongoing repression in Syria.
