SYRIAN Prime Minister Adel Safar said yesterday his cabinet was to set a complete plan for political, economic and administrative reforms, official SANA news agency reported.

The plan would cover three main domains, including the political, security and judicial reform, the economic and social reform, and the development of administrative and governmental work.

The Syrian authorities have recently announced a series of reforms, including lifting the country's state of emergency which had been in place since 1963, sacking the cabinet, releasing dozens of political detainees and increasing the state servants' salaries.

Syria is witnessing unprecedented anti-government protests across the country that erupted six weeks ago. According to human rights groups, the protests have caused the deaths of at least 562 people in clashes between civilians and security forces.
