Members of the Syrian community in Cairo demonstrated outside the Arab League headquarters on Tuesday to protest the suppression of peaceful protests in Syria.
Protesters raised banners calling for an end to the suppression, as well as pictures of children, women and old men killed in protests in Syria.
The protesters held the demonstration during the 136th session of the Arab League Council's meeting of foreign ministers.
Protesters chanted against international and Arab positions on the situation in Syria.
They asked the Arab League, the United Nations and major countries to pressure the Syrian regime to listen to the demands of the Syrian people.
Syrian protesters are calling for international protection to stop the killing of civilians. However, Western countries have not expressed any intent to intervene militarily in Syria, unlike in Libya.
At least 2600 people have been killed in Syria since the start of protests in mid-March, according to the UN.
