Thousands march in Syrian cities

Thousands of people have held anti-government protests in Syria, chanting for the downfall of the government.

At least 12 people were killed by security forces across the country, activists said.

The reported violence comes two days before an Arab League meeting in Cairo to decide the future of its observer mission in Syria.

Opposition and human rights group say the mission is a failure and want the case referred to the UN.

@everythingisthat12 ah yeah, the reason why there protesting is because there too afraid they'll loose in a civil war. they dont have the numbers to over throw Assad thats why they are calling on the US and UN to come in. fancy taking ur child too one of these protest, they must really be desperate to get the numbers up.

new plan, how bout go back in your houses, and plan a proper revolution. and stop crying to the UN like babies for help, we dont know who you are, and your probably terrorist.

@12myer: We love death you Slavic dog? It was Stalin & his stupid slavic dog shit communist Empire that killed 20 Million people in WWII. Never in Islamic history has this ever happened. Take your stupid communist dog shit and shove it up your ass. The US & Islam destroyed the pitiful USSR in Afghanistan thank God, & the USSR fell to knees like the dog shit it was and you slavic apes are still upset about it. Long live Chechnyan separatists & long live NATO. Fuck all Russian dogs & Alawite scum.
