AMMAN, April 1 (Reuters) - Syrian security forces killed at least three protesters on Friday in the southern Damascus suburb of Douma, witnesses said.

The three were among at least 2,000 people who chanted "Freedom. Freedom. One, one, one. The Syrian people are one," at Municipality Square in Douma when security forces opened fire to disperse them, they said. (Reporting by Khaled Yacoub Oweis; Editing by Jon Boyle)
