Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Dozens of people have been reported killed since the weekend in a restive Syrian city where witnesses and activists reported intense shooting overnight.
Syrian rights activist Mustafa Osso said security forces killed 10 people in Homs last night as part of a crackdown on the four-month-old uprising in Syria. He said another four were killed elsewhere in the province.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Homs activist Mohammed Saleh said a wave of sectarian fighting killed up to 30 people there over the weekend. Both said they have the names of the victims.
But other activists said the toll was lower and blamed security forces.
Syria has banned independent media coverage, making it difficult to confirm accounts from the ground.
