Democracy Now: HRW Charges Assad Regime Guilty of “Crimes Against Humanity”
At least nine people have reportedly been killed in Syria today in President Bashar al-Assad’s ongoing crackdown on opposition protests. The new killings come amidst reports of dozens of deaths over the past two days, most in the flashpoint area of Homs. In a new report, Human Rights Watch has accused the Assad government of “crimes against humanity” for alleged killings of protesters dating back to April. Citing what it calls the “systematic nature of abuses against civilians … including torture and unlawful killings,” Human Rights Watch says the United Nations should impose an arms embargo on Syria and refer top officials to the International Criminal Court for prosecution.
