Thousands of Syrians Demand Assad Resign

Thousands took to the streets in Syria, calling for the removal of President Bashar al-Assad.

Protests were reported in Homs, Deraa and Hama, despite security forces' lethal gun fire.

Videos shot and uploaded onto the internet by activists show that the more the government cracks down, the bolder the call for freedom becomes.
