叙利亚星期五爆发大规模抗议,活动人士说,成千上万反政府示威人士在叙利亚各地走上街头后,至少10人被叙利亚安全部队打死。叙利亚人权观察组织说,安全部队在达拉和杜马开火后造成平民死亡。该组织还说,安全部队在杜马对投掷石块的抗议者使用钉子炸弹和催泪弹时,造成大约20多人受伤。活动人士还说,在黎巴嫩边境附近政府军的一次伏击行动中,4人死亡。

与此同时,叙利亚官方通讯社说,支持巴沙尔·阿萨德的“大规模群众”星期五举行集会,支持全国团结一致。叙利亚政府说,阿盟观察员在大马士革、霍姆斯、达拉和哈马等地与一些市民会晤。大约有60名观察员在叙利亚检查叙利亚政府是否履行承诺、结束对异议人士的血腥镇压并释放政治犯。

星期五,叙利亚的盟友俄罗斯说,它对阿盟使团的初步成果感到“满意”。外交部的一份声明说,根据观察员的初步报告,骚乱城市霍姆斯的局势“看起来令人放心”。

Mass protests erupted in Syria Friday as activists say Syrian forces killed at least 10 people after tens of thousands of anti-government demonstrators turned out across the country. 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the civilians were killed when forces opened fire in the Daraa and Hama regions. 
The group also says about two dozen people were injured after forces used nail bombs and tear gas on rock-throwing protesters in Douma. 
Activists also say four people were killed in a government ambush near the Lebanese border. 

Separately, the state-run SANA news agency says "massive crowds" of supporters of President Bashar al-Assad rallied on Friday in favor of national unity. 

The pro and anti-government demonstrations were held a day after Arab League peace monitors visited several flashpoint cities. The government said the monitors "met a number of citizens" in the Damascus, Homs, Daraa and Hama regions. 
About 60 observers are in the country to check the government's compliance with pledges to end the crackdown on dissent and release political detainees. 

On Friday, Syria's ally Russia said it is "satisfied" with the initial results of the Arab League observer mission. The foreign ministry said in a statement that the situation in the restive city of Homs "seems to be reassuring," based on initial observer reports.

Syria pulled some of its tanks from Homs and released about 800 prisoners. But opposition leader Burhan Ghalioun said the government continues to hold more than 100,000 people, "some of them in military barracks and aboard ships off the Syrian coast." 

Syrian authorities agreed to the observers under international pressure and threats of Arab sanctions. The plan requires the government to give the monitors freedom of movement except for sensitive military sites. 

The United Nations estimates 5,000 people have been killed since March in violence linked to Syria's unrest. Syria says armed terrorists are driving the revolt. It accuses them of killing 2,000 security personnel since March.
