President Bashar al-Assad Is A Liar

When the anti-government protests began Bashar al-Assad announced that the Syrian government would end its Emergency Law however it was an illusion as Assad will do anything to retain power. After all who wants to be a member of the Little Peoples Brigade?

According to witnesses and activists, most of the deaths occurred in Ezra, near the southern flash-point town of Deraa, and in a suburb of Damascus.

At least 200 people are said to have died since unrest began last month.

In a concession to the protesters, President Bashar al-Assad formally ended five decades of emergency rule.

A spokesman for Human Rights Watch (HRW) called on him to prove his good intentions by allowing Friday's protests to proceed "without violent repression".
