Masses Protesting at Funerals: "Bashar al-Assad, you traitor. Long live Syria, down with Bashar"

Reuters: Syrians demand "regime overthrow" at mass funerals

"Tens of thousands of chanting Syrians demanded the "overthrow of the regime" Saturday at funerals for scores of people killed by security forces in the country's bloodiest pro-democracy protests, witnesses said.

Funerals were held in Damascus and at least one of its suburbs and in the southern village of Izra'a, where mourners also chanted "Bashar al-Assad, you traitor. Long live Syria, down with Bashar.""
