Women march in Syria to demand jailed men be freed

AMMAN - Hundreds of women from a Syrian town that has witnessed mass arrests of its men marched along Syria@@@s main coastal highway on Wednesday to demand their release, human rights activists said.
Security forces, including secret police, stormed Baida on Tuesday, going into houses and arresting men aged up to 60, the activists said, after townsfolk joined unprecedented protests challenging the 11-year rule of President Bashar al-Assad.
The women from Baida were marching on the main highway leading to Turkey chanting slogans to demand the release of some 350 men who have been arrested, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"The women of Baida are on the highway. They want their men back," the organization said.
