THERE WERE 130 Demonstrations across Syria YESTERDAY Friday
Dara’a. A 13-year-old boy named Hamza al-Khatib was returned to his family having died under torture. The people of Dara’a are up-in-arm about his savage killing.

Casualties. 12 Syrians died in different parts of the country as the result of using live ammunitions against demonstrators.

Further, 14-year old Mahmoud al-Damrani has vanished and no one knows his whereabouts. Given the regime has buried Syrians in mass graves in Dara’a, it is highly likely he is also in a mass grave.
Detentions. Various cities, towns and districts experienced a heavy toll of illegal detentions. The Washington Post reported that Iran has been helping the Syrian regime using software that detects proxy-based Twitter and Facebook postings. The same software was offered to the Egyptians by a British firm. The detentions have been observed in these regions:
