Damascus has seen increased violence over the past few days despite the presence of monitors from the Arab League who are in the country on a mission to curtail President Bashar al-Assad's violent crackdown on protest.
At least 11 people were killed in the city today as Syrian security forces try to put down anti-government protests.
Elesewhere in the city regime troops opened fire on a crowd of more than 20,000 people as they awaited the arrival of peace monitors outside a mosque in the suburb of Douma.
Omar al-Khani, an activist in Damascus told the Telegraph that the man who is pushed into the police van in the video was found dead minutes later.
The citizens of Syria have begun to criticise the Arab League monitors saying they are hard to reach even when they do come to the neighbourhoods which are suffering most.

Beirut -- Syrian security forces opened fire on demonstrators in a Damascus suburb Thursday morning, activists said, killing several people and dashing hopes that Arab League observers might help stem the bloodshed.
One activist in the Damascus suburb of Douma said protesters gathered early in the morning to greet what they thought was a delegation of the observers arriving on several buses. Instead, members of the security forces disembarked.
"We lost six people, the price of seeing this cursed mission," said the activist, who did not want to be quoted by name. "Their presence has raised the killing, in fact."
Deaths were reported in several cities that the observers were supposed to visit, including Idlib and Hama. Government loyalists and troops also clashed with protesters in the Damascus neighborhood of Midan, residents said, and the Syrian government reported that opposition gunmen killed two soldiers.
The observers are supposed to monitor promises by the government of President Bashar Assad to withdraw its forces from populated areas and release political prisoners.
A surge of violence in recent days has almost completely eclipsed the observers' work. Instead, activists have complained that attacks by the government have accelerated.
By Thursday afternoon, there was still no sign of the observers in the southern Syrian city of Daraa, the scene of the uprising's earliest and biggest demonstrations.
