The witness stated that the names of the dead were read on the loudspeakers of the mosque Sunday in the city of port of Banias. He said most of the shooting took place in the neighbourhood of Ras al-Nabeh. He spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals from the Government.
Details were incomplete, because the telephone lines, internet access and electricity were apparently slaughtered most of the parts of the city. Soldiers and tanks from the army surrounded the city, prevent people from entering to the.
But a witness, reached by telephone, said hundreds of demonstrators were gathered near the al-Rahman Mosque when security forces and armed men in civilian clothes open fire on them. The names of the dead were read on the loudspeakers of the mosque.
He said dozens of people were injured, but most of them asked to be treated at a small clinic instead of to the main hospital, which, as under the control of safety feared forces.
Several other human rights activists, also citing witnesses, reported shooting at Banias Sunday.
"There are demonstrations throughout the city and people are chanting against the regime, said Haitham al-Maleh, 80 years and long-time rights activist lawyer who spent years as a prisoner politics Syria."
Also Sunday, State television reported what the thugs ambushed and killed nine police officers near Banias, 300 kilometres northwest of Damascus.
The report said armed men hiding among the trees along a road turned to the police, and it broadcasts images of ambulance and other civilian vehicles coming under fire on the same road.
Independent reports disappeared from Syria, that the Government has imposed severe restrictions on the coverage of news and many journalists were ordered to leave the country.
Demonstrations broke out in Syria, more than three weeks ago and have experienced steady growth each week, with tens of thousands of people are calling for substantial reforms in the regime authoritarian President Bashar Assad.
