Syrian Teshreen Soccer club team players, hold portraits of the Syrian President Bashar Assad, as they listen to the national anthems, during the Syrian soccer league, in Damascus, Syria, on Friday Feb. 4, 2011. Campaigns on Facebook and Twitter have called for a "day of rage" in Damascus on Friday and Saturday. But by early afternoon there were no signs of protesters anywhere in the capital. Worshippers performed Friday prayers in mosques across the city and carried on life as normal. Human Rights Watch quoted witnesses as saying Syrian security forces have been intimidating people in recent days who have tried to assemble to support the protesters in Egypt.
