Protesters broke in to the Saudi Arabian and Qatar embassies in Damascus after the Arab League voted to suspend Syria's membership. Eighteen member states of the Arab League chaired by Qatar voted Saturday to suspend Syria from its meetings and impose sanctions in response to the Syrian government's crackdown on anti-regime protesters, killing more than 3,500 people since March.
Demonstrations in Syria continue despite promises by Assad to end the widely despised state of emergency rule, and implement other reforms following more than a month of unprecedented, and growing, demonstrations.
Syrians lit candles and waived flags demonstrating for the victims who were apparently killed by government security forces in Daraa and other cities along in the country.
