Funerals held for killed Syrian protesters
Most shops were closed in the central Syrian city of Hama on Saturday as thousands of people held funerals for dozens of protesters shot dead by security forces a day earlier, residents said. A Syrian human rights activist increased Friday's death toll among protesters to 63, up from an initial count of 48. Most of the dead were killed in Hama after troops opened fire on crowds.
Mustafa Osso also said Saturday that the Internet had been mostly restored, a day after authorities shut it down. (AP)
