Protesters flood Syrian capital amid crackdown protests
Tens of thousands marched on Damascus shouting for freedom as security forces beat back crowds with tear gas and batons. The Damascus suburb Douma saw the largest rally with about 100,000 participants. Activists say the uprising widens while Assad offers limited concessions and authorities frame protests as foreign plots. Human Rights Watch calls for accountability over arrests and torture.
