Violence in government-controlled Syria over fuel subsidy removal - BBC News

In the government controlled southern Druze city of Suweida in Syria, activists have held weeks of demonstrations protesting desperate living conditions and the government decision to lift fuel subsidies.

More than two thousand anti- government protestors marched throughout the city - largely unopposed - but three people were wounded when a hail of bullets was fired at protesters, allegedly by Ba'ath Party operatives.
