Beirut — Syrian activists have vowed more demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad's regime as the government crackdown on opponents intensifies.
Activists have called for a "Friday of rage" following Muslim prayers, to commemorate the slayings exactly a week ago that saw 112 killed in just one day.
Syria's uprising, inspired by revolts in the Arab World, has claimed more than 450 lives since its outbreak in mid March.
Friday's demonstrations have the backing of the outlawed Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, which was crushed by the regime in 1982.
Assad has tried to quell the protests, which are the gravest challenge to his family's 40-year ruling dynasty.
