"Demonstrations will continue every day," said the Syrian Revolution 2011 Facebook page, which has been a motor of the protests.
It called for "a Tuesday of solidarity with prisoners of conscience held in the jails of the criminal Syrian regime."
Street demonstrations are persistently dispersed with violence by the security forces, who also make mass arrests, according to rights activists, who say more than 600 people have been killed and 8,000 incarcerated or gone missing in the eight-week crackdown.
In the latest security force bid to crush the anti-regime protest movement, troops went house to house in the coastal city of Banias on Monday, rounding up thousands of men, activists said.
Rami Abdul Rahman, head of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said water, electricity and telephone lines were cut off in Banias, on Syria's northwest Mediterranean coast.
"Thousands of men, including youths, have been rounded up by the army and security forces... to be interrogated and they are being beaten. More than 400 are still being held," he said.
Abdul Rahman told AFP "residents hoped that the army would arrest regime supporters who have terrorised Banias but instead the army nabbed unarmed residents."
Among those jugged were protest leaders and doctors at a hospital which was encircled by the military, according to the Syrian Observatory.
Several protesters were also nabbed Monday night in the city centre of Damascus
