Unrest

As I wrote before, syrian families don't know anymore what to do : send their children to school, not knowing wether they're safe or not, or keeping them home and maybe having to pay 1'000 dollars. More than that, the authorities can take the name of the students who don't go to school and list them as activists, which means they can be arrested anytime. And the worst is women are not safe anymore, if they're seen walking in the streets alone, the chabbiha or the security forces may kidnap them and rape them, as they do to the activists' sisters. As they've done to Zaynab Al Hosni. See here an article about the students' demonstrations.

French ambassador in Syria

The French ambassador in Syria, Eric Chevallier, has been attacked in the city of Damascus, probably because he went to four schools there to express his concern about the repression of the students' demonstrations. See here

More Sanctions

The EU imposes more sanctions against Syria, mostly concerning the oil sector and Syriatel, but they're only going to be effective in November. Switzerland follows with the same sanctions starting from now : here and here
