Syrian security forces fired live bullets and tear gas Friday on rallies across the country.
Protesters flooded into the streets after Muslim prayers in at least nine major areas across the country.
The demonstrations are a sign that President Bashar Assad’s attempts to quell the monthlong protests with a deadly crackdown and promises of reform have all but failed.
Ammar Qurabi, head of Syria’s National Organization for Human Rights, said the death toll had reached 49. He said at least 20 people were missing.
