Syrian funeral in Deraa

Syrian residents gather in front of the bodies of people, whom protesters say were killed by forces loyal to Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, during their funeral in Deraa June 9, 2012. Seventeen people, including 10 women, were killed overnight by shelling in the southern Syrian town of Deraa, where the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad erupted 15 months ago, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
