The 45-year-old
is facing the most serious crisis of his 11-year rule.
Assad has promised to consider reforms, but this has failed
to calm protesters’ anger. The government says its
hated, decades-old emergency law will be lifted, but has
not said when.
Dozens have died in pro-democracy protests in the southern
city of Deraa and surrounding towns. The
military are on the streets of Latakia, where 12 people
died in demonstrations on Saturday.
