Razan: "the authorities try to scare people into submission."

We have heard about the various photo shoots in many cities where there no people on the streets protesting.

It seems that try Syrian security forces, prevent, and stop them from the protest.

On Friday, it was a large protest in Damascus, thousands were there, I was there, but you can think of not security.

There are security checkpoints everywhere, can not move without being asked where are you go or show your ID card.

No one was killed on Sunday in Damascus. The forces make communications hard, my mobile phone was cut off on Friday and I was unable to use it.

I have relatives in Harasta and have not succeeded Duma and I, to contact them for the last 24 hours.

There are snipers on government buildings, security people on ramp bridges, highways and bridges. There are also tanks. You can go everywhere.

It feels like there is a curfew. It is very quiet. People are afraid and stay indoors.

The situation is the same outside of Damascus. My wife was in the South, something outside of Deraa. You took it three hours Damascus, have instead of half an hour. Checkpoints were all 50 metres. She would a car to stop and let the next go.

They have a list of names of people who were killed have, so they check name against this name and if someone is from the same family - they the whole family.

I live not far from the State security unit where they currently have three cars they use, to submit their thugs, where they are needed. I think the main concern for the Government is that the protests larger, stronger, more powerful and always be closer to Damascus.

Layla: "forces are sent the message is, protest and you will be shot."

It shows what happens on Friday to us which the security forces to prepare for next.

If you continue on the road to go, questions this is what the security forces around you will do for your needs, they will shoot you.

Next Friday, we fear there will be even more violence.

The protesters want to continue their fight, they believe in freedom and democracy and want their State by law excluded are not more than a security status.
