Here is the story of Deraa as told by a BBC correspondent. Click here.
I have spoken with sources and collected some general statistics I want to share with you:
3,597 people have been killed. This number is based on those whose names have been confirmed, the number is much higher though as there are mass graves which the regime is hiding many bodies in as well as unidentified bodies in morgues and hospitals, and in secret detention centers.
The largest death tolls are in the following Provinces:
1,058 in Homs Province
712 in Deraa Province
480 in Idlib Province
411 in Damascus Province
403 in Hama Province
233 in Lattakia Province
226 in Deir Azzour Province
130 hospitals have been closed around the country.
117 bodies of activists bearing the marks of torture have been identified.
70,000 people have been detained, 10,000 still remain in jail.
At least 47 spontaneous student demonstrations have taken place since September 15th (the start of the school year).
On average, 100,000 people take to the streets to protest every day, sometimes as high as 500,000 on a Friday.
Perhaps 15,000 soldiers have defected, although this number is hard to verify.
