Syria unrest: Day-of-anger protests against Russia
Antigovernment protesters in Syria turned their wrath toward Russia by rallying against the Kremlin's support for Syria's government and President Bashar al-Assad in a "day of anger," Radio Liberty said.
Demonstrators in the cities of Homs and Daraa burned Russian flags.
Messages posted on The Syrian Revolution 2011, a Facebook page protesters and activists have used during the months-long demonstrations against Assad, said, "Do not support killers" and, "We express our anger toward Russia and the Russian government."
Russia has blocked efforts of mainly Western countries to impose UN Security Council sanctions on the Syrian government.
