At least 80 people were killed Saturday by Syrian forces, according to opposition activists, who called it a "day of unabated killings", dpa reported.
"I can confirm that so far 80 people have been killed in Syria on Saturday," Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told dpa by phone.
"More than 40, including women and children, were killed ... in the area of al-Latmana in (central province of Hama)," he added.
