Syrian protesters in Idlib province are shown chanting anti-government slogans in online videos posted by anti-government activists over the past three days.
 
On Sunday protesters are filmed shouting slogans in support of former Arab League monitor Anwar Malek.
 
Malek left the Arab League mission to Syria because he said it had failed to halt al-Assad's violent crackdown on a popular revolt against his rule.
              
Another social media website showed pictures of a young woman giving testimony against President Assad's regime to a member of the Arab League observer mission in Syria.
              
The video shows the young woman saying a four-month old baby girl had been killed by Assad supporters.
              
More internet video footage shot on Friday shows pictures of another protest march also in Idlib province.
                            
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says two villages in Idlib province were coming under heavy machine-gun fire from the army and many people had been wounded.
              
Anti-Assad protests began in March inspired by a wave of popular anger against autocratic rulers sweeping the Arab world.
              
Assad's violent response to the uprising has killed more than 5,000 people, by a U.N. count.
