Thousands rally against regime in southern Syrian city of Sweida

Thousands of Syrians protest in the southern city of Sweida, amidst a wave of anti-government demonstrations that have intensified over recent days.

The demonstration takes place days after three protesters were wounded by gunfire while trying to weld shut a branch of the ruling Baath party.

Peaceful protests in Sweida began last month after President Bashar al-Assad's government ended fuel subsidies, dealing a heavy blow to Syrians reeling from war and economic woes.
