Syria’s government late Sunday endorsed a draft law to allow formation of political parties alongside President Bashar Assad’s ruling Baath Party, part of a series of promised reforms that the opposition has dismissed as largely symbolic. The move came as security forces detained dozens in the capital Damascus and several other cities in search of anti-government protesters and regime opponents. A 7-year-old child, a boxing champion and a writer are said to be among those arrested.
