Tens of thousands of protesters trying to march on the centre of the Syrian capital, Damascus, have been met by security forces firing tear gas. Witnesses said security forces also beat protesters with batons.
Syria has been shaken by a month of anti-government protests in which about 200 people have been reported killed.
Demonstrations have continued despite President Bashar al-Assad forming a new government and granting amnesty to some of the people detained for protesting.
