The range inside Marjeh Square, an Ottoman-era plaza in the middle of the capital, ended up being silent, with protesters elevating images of imprisoned relatives and associates, just before security forces started batting them with their batons
Syrian administrators detained as many as thirty five people, estimated by opponents of President Bashar Assad’s regime as well as human rights activists.
