| Syrian security forces have used tear gas and live ammunition to disperse thousands rallying in Aleppo, a city that has largely been loyal to the Assad regime. A raid on dormitories at the city's main university in Syria's largest city on May 3, killed four students and forced the temporary closure of the state-run school earlier this month. On Thursday, 15,000 students protested outside of Aleppo University before U.N. observers, before regime forces broke it up. Even larger numbers filled the streets on Friday. Activist Mohammad Saeed said, "The number of protesters is increasing every day and today saw the biggest protests," adding that several people were injured when security forces tear gas and live ammunition to attempt to break up the demonstration. |
