Activists in Syria have called on protesters to take to the streets against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in what they called a “day of rage.” The message was posted late on Thursday on a Facebook page entitled ‘The Syrian Revolution 2011’, calling on demonstrators to protest after Friday’s weekly Muslim prayers and defy a government crackdown on the movement. Syria braces for “day of rage” protests “To the youths of the revolution, tomorrow we will be in all the places, in all the streets … We will gather at the besieged towns, including with our brothers in Deraa,” the message written in Arabic said. Activists also said that gatherings would be held in other towns and cities across Syria. Deraa has been the epicenter of the unrest since protests began just over six weeks ago. Amateur footage posted online has shown security forces firing live rounds at civilians and tanks patrolling the streets. Similar demonstrations last Friday ended in chaos and bloodshed, with over 100 people killed.
