88 Syrian protesters killed on bloody Good Friday

At least 88 people have been killed in protests on Good Friday, Syrian Human Rights sources reported.

The dead included two boys ages seven and 10, and a four-year-old girl, according to activists.

“The Syrian authorities have again responded to peaceful calls for change with bullets and batons. They must immediately halt their attacks on peaceful protesters and instead allow Syrians to gather freely as international law demands,” said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa director.
