Antigovernment anger in Syria escalated on Friday over the harsh repression of students in Aleppo, the country’s largest city, where activists reported what they called the most extensive protests there yet in the 15-month-old nationwide uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.

Many thousands of demonstrators, including some government loyalists, participated in the protests, according to dispatches by activists and witnesses interviewed by telephone. Sympathy protests for victims of the crackdown on the students were also reported in several other Syrian cities in what organizers called “the heroes of Aleppo University” demonstrations, and in some cases they were broken up by security forces using live ammunition.

The unrest in Aleppo, Syria’s commercial hub, began after a May 3 raid by security forces on the university campus that left four students dead, and it poses a new risk for Mr. Assad’s government because the city has remained a core of support for his governing minority Alawite sect throughout the uprising. A change of sentiment in Aleppo could spread in Syria.
