A relatively lower number of deaths and injuries of civilians have been reported as large anti-demonstrations were staged across Syria on Friday.
Unlike previous Fridays, security forces mostly held their fire - reportedly on the orders of president Bashar al-Assad.
But some activists say the reason for the lower number of casualties is a result of a low-turnout of protesters amid heavy military crackdowns and sieges across the country.
Zeina Khodr reports on nationwide demonstrations that some activists said were dedicated to Syrian women imprisoned for protesting.
