Summary of Events
 
Saudi Arabia announced it will halt deportation procedures for all Syrians with expired visas or permits. This decree was issued by the Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz after several reports of deportees getting tortured upon their arrival in Syria. There is currently more than half a million Syrian expatriates in addition to millions of Arab citizens residing in Saudi Arabia.
 
Security forces killed at least 22 civilians today in Homs, Hama, Damascus suburbs and Daraa. The killings took place when security forces opened fire at demonstrators who came out on the Friday of “the Arab League is killing us.” Demonstrators held signs accusing the Arab League of assisting the regime in killing more Syrians by extending endless ultimatums and grace periods to the regime. The most recent disappointment was the indefinite postponement of an Arab League meeting to discuss Syria that was set for Saturday. Demonstrators also called for a no-fly zone, international protection, and support for the forces fighting against the regime. Demonstrators also burnt the flag of Russia, and pictures of Medvedev and Putin. What was noticeable was a banner held in Idlib that said "Obama's procrastination kills us, we miss Bush's audacity. The world is better with America's Republicans", Syrians feel the US is not doing enough to stop the massacres against the Syrian people.
 
Demonstrations broke out in full force today in all major Syrian cities overcoming a noticed decrease in numbers during the past few weeks. Whenever the regime tightens its security grip and intensifies its military crackdown on demonstrators, they adapt and come up with new means to demonstrate. Most recent demonstrations shifted to blocked alleys away from open spaces and are getting extremely organized. Thirty-three demonstrations were recorded in Aleppo today, which has been trying to enter the revolution in spite of the thousands of security officers deployed on the streets daily to stop gatherings. The total number of demonstrations recorded today was 260 in total, 26 in Damascus and 45 in its suburbs, 59 in Daraa, and 48 in Homs and Idlib, 35 in Hama, 23 in Deir Azzour, and 9 in Lattakia, Hasaka, Tarouts, and Raqqa.
