Syria unrest: Protests turn bloody once more
Reports from Syria say up to 26 people have been killed in Friday protests, in what is shaping up to be the bloodiest month since the uprising began in March.
Most of the deaths reportedly occurred in Homs, the city at the centre of months of protests against President Bashar al-Assad.
The latest violence comes hours after Human Rights Watch called on the Arab League to suspend Syria.
