But analysts said they were doubtful that the changes, one day after President pointedly refused to concessions, Bashar al-Assad come up more than window dressing would amount and activists promised to go ahead with plans for a nationwide protest on Friday.
Two Government created new committees announcements on Thursday to take the protesters concerns into account.
Appointed by a Committee investigate deaths in Dara'a and Latakia, two cities where demonstrators, the Government has cracked down, according to the State News Agency. Syrian human rights information link, an activist organization, the name of the 103 people killed in the country since the protests March 15, including at least 73 in Dara'a and 10 in Latakia started documented. It was not clear if the demonstrators killed in the Wednesday evening for Latakia contain.
The Government announced the creation of a group lift the emergency law imposed in 1963 and replaced by legislation ", ensures the maintenance of national security, would the citizens and the fight of against terrorism," to study according to the State News Agency. Abolition of emergency law was a major demand of the protesters. Under its provisions the law silence dissent and allows security forces citizens without charge held.
That demanded Syrian activists mass demonstrations across the nation to honor killed, when they demanded reforms in two weeks of protests. According to the associated press, called organizers with social networking sites for a "Friday of the martyrs" crackdown died a reference to scores of people, the Government.
The protest call could be an important test for the strength of the movement, which more than two weeks has made an unprecedented challenge of the four-decade iron rule in something the Assad family.
The police and the military have on the protests check aggressively responds; Activists say that at least 103 people have died. Mr. Assad's speech to the nation on Wednesday, where protesters dupes and agents of a foreign conspiracy, called leaving little doubt, that would continue the hard line.
Ammar al-Qurabi, a Syrian activist currently in Cairo, said the speech and the violence of the past two weeks could discourage some of the protest on Friday, but he said he remained optimistic.
"People are afraid to protest tomorrow, but there are many who are upset about the speech and the country right now, and one good many of them in happen will not shy away from, take to the street," he said.
"Of course I'm nervous;" killed my people in the street will be, "he added." "Speech of the President was very threatening."
Mr Assad, said the unrest that democracy were protests in his first public speech since the beginning of only a cover for a foreign conspiracy "Fragmentation of Syria to Syria as a nation, topple enforce an Israeli agenda."
He confirmed popular demands for reform, but insisted that protesters "had" been duped in the nation for his enemies to damage, and vowed that the country would bow to foreign pressure.
"It's clear of Bashar's speech, that he threatens Syrians, which go in the street," said Radwan Ziadeh, a Syrian human rights activist and visiting scholar at George Washington University in Washington. "" He ended the speech with the words,"this is a fight and we are ready to fight." "But against whom?"
This question seemed only hours after the speech answered when security forces opened fire on pro-democracy demonstrators in the coastal city of Latakia, one stronghold of the ruling Baath party and the Shiite Alawi sect that dominates it. Witnesses and activists gave conflicting reports of 2 15 demonstrators killed.
To see in a video on YouTube posted demonstrators in Latakia and listen, sing, "The people want only freedom." In a second bear screaming demonstrators bloody put on the road.
Nevertheless, calls the Facebook group Syrian revolution 2011, to go more than 100,000 fans Syrians who, on Friday on the road. "What we understand from the talk is that we have no choice, but the regime remove" said the group in a statement posted Thursday.
Activists expressed little confidence that the Government would expand political freedoms in a meaningful way. Mr Ziadeh said he feared that counter-terrorism laws emergency law replace only a cosmetic change would be. "they are placed on basic rights the same restrictions the terrorism law, which they implement the emergency law," he said. "The emergency law be revoked could but of the State of emergency, which governs every aspect of our lives the same be".
