The Syrian government is
holding a referendum on a new constitution as violence continues around
the country, killing at least 20 people.
The new constitution calls for a multi-party parliamentary election within three months.The opposition has boycotted the vote, calling it a farce and demanding President Bashar al-Assad stand down.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said "there's every possibility" Syria could descend into civil war.
But she warned "outside intervention" could exacerbate the situation. "I think that as you try to play out every possible scenario, there are a lot of bad ones that we are trying to assess," she told the BBC.
Activists say more than 89 people died across Syria on Saturday.
