BEIRUT (AP) — Syria faced international calls for tougher sanctions as anti-government protesters vowed Friday they will choose death over humiliation at the hands of the regime.
The 5-month-old uprising in Syria shows no sign of slowing down, despite a brutal government crackdown that the U.N. estimates has killed some 2,200 people since March. Protesters pour into the streets every week, despite the near certainty of meeting a barrage of shells and sniper fire.
