As world leaders call on him to step down, Assad continues to orchestrate his slow-motion genocide.
Thursday August 19, 2011
Assad death squads killed 40 protesters today, 18 of whom fell in the Hauran province, the Cradle of the Syrian Revolution ... 5 more protesters were killed in the historic city of Palmyra/Tadmor as security officers opened fire on protesters who took to the streets after Night Prayers, and 6 were killed in Homs City itself. In Damascus, one protester was killed in Harasta and 1 in Douma … Meanwhile, Assad security forces supported by tanks stormed into several neighborhoods in Homs City after Night Prayers in the aftermath of major protests demanding ouster of Bashar Al-Assad …
Russia and Turkey refuse to call on Assad to step down.
