WorldProtests erupt across Syria over sharp fuel price hikes

Protests have spread across Syrian cities after the government raised diesel prices by up to 40 percent and petrol prices by 28 percent. Demonstrators burned tyres and blocked a major highway, with rallies reported in Hama, Khan Sheikhoun and Maarat al-Numan. Officials attributed the increases to higher fuel costs and work at the Baniyas refinery.
