Te eyewitness and activist said he

On Tursday, al-Assad lied thecountrys 48-year-old state o emergencyand abolished the state security court,both o which were key demands o thedemonstrators. But anti-governmentprotests have continued, with dozensreported killed Friday.

Te brazen Friday killings

rippled through the Syrian politicalestablishment. Syrian parliamentmember Khalil Al Riai, announcedhis resignation Saturday in a televisioninterview, saying security orces hadopened re even though al-Assadpromised not to use orce againstprotesters.

Protests continued early Sundaymorning in a suburb outside Syriascapital, with people waving candles and

chanting, the people want to topple theregime, activist Wissam ari said.

Te Syrian authorities have agresponded to peaceul calls or chwith bullets and batons, said MalcSmart, Amnesty Internationals MEast and North Arica director.

Te protests began last month isouthern city o Daraa aer a violecrackdown by security orces onpeaceul demonstrators protestingarrests o youths who scribbled angovernment grati.

Te tough crackdown in Daraaspurred more protest. As peaceuldemonstrations spread to otherregions, such as Latakia, Banias, athe Damascus suburbs, the proteswere met with orce that embolden

the protesters resolve.Te government made some ef

at reorm, include the liing o thecountrys emergency law, the abolo a special court that tried regimeopponents, the establishment o a cabinet, and the granting o citizento stateless people in the countrysnortheastern Kurdish region.

But activists think the violentcrackdown Friday undermines the

liing o the emergency law. Teyalso have other complaints with thgovernment, such as immunity osecurity ocers and the incarcerato political prisoners and thosearrested or participating in peaceprotests.

Tey want the easing o the ruliBaath Partys power and a law thatwould permit the establishment o

independent political parties.
