A local activist of the Local Co-ordination Committees network in eastern Syria’s Deir ez-Zor, said a protest of about 8,000 people had taken place in the city’s Jabellah neighbourhood, despite the continued presence of the military.

Security forces had opened fire injuring five people, one of them seriously, he said, while a protest had also taken place in Albu Kamal on the border with Iraq.
