Thousands of Syrians have continued their protests Sunday the call for the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday. Reuters/Social Media via Reuters International TVAn website relating to the rights of the human group called Sunday for an investigation of the United Nations in the Suppression of the Syria on the demonstrators of the opposition which has left more than 120 people dead in recent days.

The New York - based Human Rights Watch also urged the United States and the European Union to impose sanctions against accused Syrian officials to use force against demonstrators contesting the authoritarian regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

Ammar Qurabi, head of the national organization for the rights of man in Syria, said the arrest was focused on the capital Damascus and suburbs and the Centre of the city of Homs, who has been a fertile ground for demonstrations.

"These people are not being orders in a legal way." They are either removed, "said Qurabi, asserting that the plainclothes security officers did not arrest official mandates."

Qurabi has no complete figures for detainees, but said at least 20 people were arrested in Homs. A resident in the suburbs of Damascus in the Duma, said at least five people have been placed in detention

More than 300 people were killed - including more than 120 Friday and Saturday and Sunday in eight - since the uprising against the Assad regime has begun there, according to the groups of rights of five weeks. Friday was the day of the bloodiest since the uprising began with 112 killed, rights groups said.

A coalition of groups said Sunday 10 Syrian human rights authorities arrested an activist, Daniel Saud, who heads the committees for the defence of democracy, freedoms and human rights, one of the most important groups in Syria watchdog.

Saud, who was arrested Saturday, lives in the coastal town of Banias, said a statement by groups.

As of Saturday evening, forces of Syrian security began to hold dozens of opposition activists and others in raids launched less than a week after the Assad regime abolishes the emergency laws used for decades to crush dissent.

"After the carnage of Friday, it is more enough to condemn the violence,", said Joe Stork, Deputy Director of Middle East for Human Rights Watch. "To the strategy to draw to kill Syrian authorities, the international community must impose sanctions on those ordering the shooting of demonstrators."

Earlier this month, Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, called on Assad to say he was "greatly disturbed" by reports of violence. Many Western leaders, including US President Barack Obama, condemned severe tactics of the Syria to suppress dissident.

On Sunday, police said 286 SANA State News Agency were wounded since the start of the insurgency. He gave no details.

Many of Saturday 13 killed were slaughtered while on their way to bury loved ones to attack a day earlier, witnesses said.

In the Centre of the city of Homs, where 19 people were killed Friday, a witness said the security forces did not all funeral out at the same time.

"Security officials decide when the deceased person, will be buried to avoid large funeral," the witness said.

In the South of the village of Izraa - where other people were killed Friday - a said witness chanting of some men in the village: "God may destroy Assad.".

Witness accounts could not independently confirmed because the Syria expelled journalists and limited access hot. Speaks of witnesses on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

The protest movement has become the most serious threat to the Assad hold on power in one of the more strictly controlled in the Middle East.

Assad criticized most of the unrest on "foreign plot" and armed thugs trying to sow sectarian strife. Fears of bigotry are strong in Syria with the dangers of fractured societies so evident in Iraq and the Lebanon nearby.

'People are afraid to go out than to do something important.'-a Christian Iraqi in Syria

But may be emerging from the possible cracks within. Two lawmakers and a religious leader of the southern province Dara - where to begin the uprising - resigned Saturday to the rejection on the murders.

Internal antagonisms have added resonance since opposition figures were imprisoned or exiled during the 40 years of the Assad family dynasty.

Another walkout came Sunday when a provincial Dara member of the Council, Bassam al-Zamel, left his position to denounce violence.

"It is our duty to resign in protest," al-Zamel told Al-Jazeera TV.

Sunday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Britain advises against all travel to Syria violence. She added that "in view of the deterioration of security, British nationals in Syria, who have urgent steps must remain should leave by commercial means.".

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Canada Saturday advised Canadians against travel to the country and said Canadian living in Syria should leave by commercial facilities while they are still available.

Many Iraqi Christians, who fled to escape violence in their country of origin, in Syria did not attend Easter Masses Sunday because of the disorders.

Abu Fadi, an Iraqi Christian, stated that he and his family had attended midnight mass in a church in central Damascus for the past five years.

"This time, we and other families have decided to stay home and do not attend mass in the morning because of the tense and unstable situation in Syria." "People are afraid to come out, at least to do important things," said Abu Fadi, who did not use his real name because of fears of reprisals by the authorities.
