Protesters gather in a square in the southern city of Deraa,Syria April 8, 2011


Witnesses say Syrian security forces have killed at least seven people during protests against President Bashar al-Assad and his ruling Baath Party.

Foreign media reports about Friday's protests in Daraa, in southern Syria, quote witnesses as saying that security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas at thousands of demonstrators in the city.

Separate protests broke out Friday in Kurdish regions of eastern Syria. Assad offered Syrian citizenship to some Kurds on Thursday, in what was seen as a move to ease anti-government sentiment.  Ethnic minorities in Syria have faced difficulties in getting work in the past due to citizenship issues.

Reuters news agency reports the demonstrators in eastern Syria demanded freedom for thousands of political prisoners, many of whom are Kurds.
