Syrian security forces fired on thousands of demonstrators Sunday in the town of Daraa, killing one and wounding around 100, two of them critically, a rights activist at the scene said.
Daraa, south of the capital Damascus, has turned into a “volcano”, the witness told AFP by telephone.
“A protester was killed today by live bullets. His name is Raed Akrad,” he said, adding that two others wounded in the head were in critical condition.
