A handicapped Syrian boy casts a paper bearing the name of a &quot;martyr&quot; in coffin-like symbolic ballot boxes during an anti-elections demonstration in the city Qusayr, 15 kms (nine miles) from Homs in restive central Syria, on May 7, 2012, as polling stations opened across the country for the first &quot;multiparty&quot; parliamentary vote in five decades. The Syrian opposition dismissed the elections as a sham and refused to participate. AFP PHOTO/STRSTR/AFP/GettyImages Photo: Str, AFP/Getty Images
