Two Dead in Syria as Security Forces Disperse Alawite Protest

Two protesters were killed in Syria, in the city of Latakia, when security forces dispersed an Alawite demonstration. Authorities confirmed they had brought the situation under control and accused supporters of former President Assad of attacking security forces. Violent clashes erupted between supporters and opponents of the government, resulting in several injuries. Similar demonstrations took place in other provinces, demanding self-determination for the Alawites. Syria has experienced increased religious violence since Assad's removal from power.
