Amateur video out of Syria appears to show women surrounding Arab League monitors in Deraa.<br/> The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters shows women telling monitors about the deaths of family members.<br/> One woman says her brother was hit by a sniper when he was coming out of a mosque. She says another brother was tortured and detained for three months.<br/> Another woman speaks of her son. She says the 22 year old electrical engineer was killed when he went to work and there was a protest nearby that came under attack.<br/> On Sunday the Arab League renewed calls to end the violence in Syria but stopped short of asking for U.N. help.<br/> More footage, purportedly from Idlib, shows protesters holding up letters spelling freedom. They continue to call for the end of President Bashar-al Assad's regime.<br/> Video from Homs shows a funeral service for three residents.<br/> The United Nations says more than 5,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising began last March. The Syrian government blames the violence on foreign backed insurgent groups.<br/> And yet the demonstrators go on.<br/> Syria has banned most independent media from the country making it difficult to verify accounts of activists or the government.<br/> Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
