Large protests occurred in the city of Aleppo today. Security forces dispersed crowds with shots in the air and tear gas as the standing order not to kill protesters in the city still seem to be in place. Security forces also turned on air-raid sirens that activists say are only used when Syria is either at war or a state of emergency has occurred. A huge security presence is being maintained in Aleppo to intimidate people and force them to stay in their homes and not attend protests.
