Scores of Pro-Democracy Activists Killed in Syria Despite Peace Plan 
---------------------------------------------------------------------



In defiance of a peace plan agreed to last week, Syrian forces continue
to attack Homs and other cities. Pro-democracy activists say at least 23
people died Sunday, including at least 16 in around Homs. The United
Nations estimated more than 3,000 people have died since protests began
seven months ago. On Sunday, Syrian activists gathered outside the
Syrian embassy in Ahman, Jordan.

Unidentified Syrian: "What a state we are in at this time of Eid. This
year's Eid comes amid destruction, killing, and displacement. We are
here near the (Syrian) embassy to say to this criminal regime that they
have lost legitimacy and they must go."
