    CNN Wire Staff (CNN) - Violent protests erupted Friday in Syria, with dozens of people people killed in and around the restive city of Daraa and a boy slain in the coastal town of Latakia, reports said. "The situation in Syria has worsened considerably over the past week, with the use of live ammunition and tear gas by the authorities having resulted in a total of at least 37 people being killed in Daraa, including two children," said Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the U.N.'s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. Among the dead were 15 people who tried to march to Daraa, sources said, and nine others who died when security forces fired on demonstrators in Daraa's main square, said Wissam Tarif, a human rights activist. There were many casualties in Daraa, said Abdullah, who asked that his full name not be reported due to security concerns. He said he saw Friday's events in the city, where deadly clashes have taken place in recent days between security forces and protesters. "Thousands gathered and moved to the governor's building in Daraa, and there they burned a large picture of Bashar al-Assad, and then they toppled a statue of Hafez al-Assad in the center of the square," Abdullah said, referring to the current president and his late father, the former president. "After that, armed men came out from the roof of the officers' club in front of the governor's office and started firing at the crowd," he said. Aman al Aswad, an opposition activist, said dozens of people appeared to have been killed or wounded in clashes with security forces in the square, but he could not be precise on the totals. CNN could not independently confirm the accounts as the Syrian government has yet to grant access to the network

    ?We shall have to repent in this generation, not so much for the evil deeds of the wicked people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.? -Martin Luther King, Jr. I'm a proud Syrian-American from Daraa who over my lifetime has had family members and close ones wrongfully imprisoned, exiled, detained, questioned, tortured and murdered under this corrupt regime that has persisted for five decades. Some have been taken to never be heard from again to this day. The regime under the Al-Assad family has prayed on the fear of its citizens with tactics as inhumane and Machiavellian as any dictatorship the region and perhaps the world has seen. Fear and propaganda is exactly what has kept this totalitarian regime in power. If I don't voice my opinion now I would be doing a disservice to my homeland and to Syrians every where particularly those who have paid the ultimate price with blood. My conscience will not allow me to live under the umbrella of democracy offered to me and every citizen in the U.S. without reaching out to my government to lend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters in humanity. I urge you to step in and apply the pressure to stop the killing of innocent civilians in Syria before more blood is spilled. If not now, when? It is well documented what this regime is capable of. Help stop it before it reaches a point where we say, "We should have stepped in sooner."

    The Syrian regime has been committing this atrocity against the Syrian people for a long time and no one has taken any action to stop them. Now is the time to tell them no longer they can continue with their crimes

    the current events in Syria are very shocky and bloody. the UN has to intervene and pressure the brutal regime to stop killing peaceful protesters. the army forces are seiging the city of Deraa. very little is known about what is happening there. But for sure, they are not negotiating with people. They are killing them. City of Deraa is need for food, medicine and other imprtant supplies. Syrian people need to hear the national community supporting them an dprotecting them.

    President Obama needs to call for the Syrian dictator Bashar Alasad to step down as he did with Kaddafi and Mobarak.
