Syrian Uprising 2011 Information Centre: SUMMARY (24/01/2012): Another bloody day in Syria – at least 60 martyrs with more than 40 dead in the central city of Homs where there was heavy shelling of several residential areas.

Meanwhile, there were some reports about the new constitution being drafted by one of the 1001 committees Assad has set up.
