Syrian forces shot two protesters in southern district of Damascus, Tadamun, on Friday reported Reuters.
The incident occured, as Syrian forces fired into the air at the second day of large-scale protests in the city of Aleppo in an attempt to break up the protest. On Thursday, the Aleppo protest was reportedly witnessed by UN monitors, before the Syrian security forces moved them away.
Speaking to reporters in Damascus, Major General Robert Mood, of the UN monitoring team, said,
"No volume of observers can achieve a progressive drop and a permanent end to the violence if the commitment to give dialogue a chance is not genuine by from all internal and external actors."
On Monday, an UN convoy, escorting unarmed UN monitors, came under attack during a government crackdown on protesters in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Syria.
