DAMASCUS: Western leaders condemned Damascus after Syrian forces shot dead at least 72 people in one of the bloodiest days of a month-long uprising after thousands had taken part in “Good Friday” protests.

The deaths signalled no let-up from President Bashar al-Assad, whose forces used live ammunition and tear gas against demonstrators in several towns and cities nationwide, witnesses and activists told AFP by telephone.

The bloodshed came amid street clashes one day after Assad scrapped decades of emergency rule and as demonstrators gathered to test long-sought freedoms.

The official SANA news agency said security forces intervened using tear gas and water cannon to “prevent clashes” between protesters and passers-by.

SANA spoke of 10 dead, including police, but rights groups put the toll much higher.

“The Syrian security forces committed massacres in several towns and regions today, so far killing 72 people and wounding hundreds,” said the London-based Syrian Human Rights Committee in a statement received by AFP.
