Hundreds of women in Syria are said to have marched in protest at mass arrests of men in their town.
Reports from Jordan quote human rights activists as saying that security forces rounded up the men in Baida on Tuesday following anti-government demonstrations. Police are said to have gone into houses and arrested men under the age of 60.
The nearby town of Banias is said to have been sealed off.
“Syria is the Arab police state par excellence. But the regime still watches international reaction, and as soon as it senses that it has weakened, it turns more bloody,” said the lawyer, who did not want to be further identified.
