Syrians defy protest ban

Thousands of pro-democracy protesters in Syria have defied their government's brutal crackdown on demonstrations - taking to the streets across the country again on Friday.

At least seven protesters were killed as demonstrations were met by tear gas and gunfire, said rights groups.

Foreign media are banned from reporting inside Syria, but activists are still getting pictures out, posting clips online.
