Syria’s economy minister called newly approved Arab League sanctions “a dangerous precedent” that will harm ordinary people more than the regime, as tens of thousands of government supporters marched in the capital and other cities to protest against the decision. The Arab League approved on Sunday economic sanctions to pressure the regime to end its deadly suppression of an 8-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad. (AP Photo/Bassem Tellawi)
