Admission is entered in a statement of the Ministry of the Interior the Syria was published Sunday by the official Syria, SANA news agency.
Human rights activists said about 200 demonstrators have been killed since the start of the protests against the authoritarian Government of Mr. Assad in mid-March. Until the new statement, the Assad Government had insisted that the death was caused by foreigners infiltrated bent on destabilizing Syria.
"In recent weeks, groups of citizens met in demonstrations in various areas in Syria, particularly on Fridays, doing a number of applications which were greeted with an immediate response,"the statement says."
Some "malicious persons", continuing education, nonetheless set ablaze government buildings, killed or wounded the security officers and tried to sow mistrust.
"The authorities Syrian, to preserve the security of the country, citizens and the Government and care institutions, will face these people and those behind them under the law," read the statement. "The Interior Ministry says that there is no more space for clemency and tolerance in the application of the law, to preserve the security of the country and citizens and protection general order.
Radwan Ziadeh, a researcher Syrian human rights activist invited to the George Washington University, said that the statement was an attempt to intimidate more demonstrators. In addition to the protestors who died, about 800 were detained, according to figures compiled by him and other activists.
"I think the main reason behind this statement is to say that we are now right serious and we will allow no protest over the streets," Mr. Ziadeh said in a telephone interview.
The demonstrations began March 15 after a group of schoolchildren have been arrested for writing anti-Government graffiti. As they are spread to dozens of communities throughout the Syria and become more violent, it became more difficult for the Government to maintain that the deaths of protesters is the work of foreign saboteurs trying to spread terror.
"The Syrian people are sensitive," continued Mr. Ziadeh. "They don't believe the history of conspiracy anymore."
Although the protest Monday to the campus of science from the University of Damascus were relatively small, with student demonstrators numbering a few hundred, the fact that the movement has expanded to a campus of the University is very significant, Mr. Ziadeh said.
"Damascus University has more than 75,000 students, and this may spread rapidly," said Mr. Ziadeh. Witnesses of the University stated that a student was killed, as events have been dispelled, but who could not be independently confirmed. "This is why they reacted very strongly." They send a message. ?
During this time, the four demonstrators were killed in demonstrations Sunday in the town of Syrian port of Baniyas were buried Monday.
George Jabbour, a former Syrian parliamentarian, said that, as of many Syrians, hoped that the appointment of Mr. Assad for a new Parliament should soon, would help to calm the protests.
"The Government is working to reform also seriously it can," said Mr. Jabbour. "I don't know who is behind this bloodshed - I did not take my decision.". He added, but I hope that the new Government will be in harmony of thought of demonstrators and that things will go more peacefully. ?
