Syria's crackdown on demonstrators reached a crises point in the areas of Khaldiyeh, Bayada and Inshaat yesterday as it was reported by Reuters that the citizen journalist Rami al-Sayed, who provided live video streaming from Homs, was hit during the shelling of BAb Amr yesterday and died some hours later.
These areas have become a strong hold for the armed opposition and been targeted by the Syrian authorities, who are currently using tactics such as bombing crowded neighborhoods and cutting off electricity and supplies including medical aid.
Additionally two young men in the Idlib province, Syria, had been rounded up and shot dead in cold blood. The Syrian network for human rights stated that 'The men, all civilians, were mostly shot in the head or chest on Tuesday in their homes or in streets in the villages of Idita, Iblin and Balshon in Idlib province near the border with Turkey'
"Responsibility for this massacre lies with the general commander of the military and armed forces, Bashar al-Assad," the statement said, adding that only one youth survived the shootings
