117 Syrian Protesters Detained on Monday 
-----------------------------------------



Syrian human rights groups say at least 117 activists, intellectuals and
anti-government supporters were arrested Monday as part of a growing
crackdown on protesters. Over the past month, at least 200 people have
been killed in Syria since anti-government protests began. Human Rights
Watch is reporting Syrian security forces in at least two towns
prevented medical personnel and others from reaching wounded protesters
last week.
