Pro-government demonstrators in Syria have surrounded the Damascus bureau of Al Jazeera and are threatening to burn it to the ground after the network covered the regime’s massacre of protesters. Police fired into a crowd in the town of Sanamein on Friday, killing 20 demonstrators. An additional three people were killed in Damascus, and several more were brought down by “heavy gunfire” in Daraa as they tried to burn down a statue of the former president.
