Deputy police chief in Syria’s Latakia flees to Turkey
Deputy police chief in Syria’s Latakia flees to Turkey: ANKARA, (Reuters) - The deputy police chief of Syria's western Latakia city, a brigadier-general, defected and fled to Turkey overnight with 11 other Syrian officers, a Turkish official said today. The police commander ranks as one of the most senior police officers to quit Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's security apparatus and joins scores of other military officers who have defected and are now in Turkey. The Turkish official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not name the deputy police commander but said he came from Syria's Sunni Muslim majority. The officer corps of Syria's security forces are mostly composed of members of Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, which has dominated the power structure in the mostly Sunni country for the last five decades. Alawites control the military through their domination of the officer corps and direct the Soviet-style intelligence and secret police apparatus entrusted with preventing dissent. [...]

Congolese Warlord Sentenced 14 Years For Using Child Soldiers #AssadKilled6000Children
Congolese Warlord Sentenced To 14 Years For Using Child Soldiers: THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The International Criminal Court handed down its first sentence Tuesday, imprisoning for 14 years a Congolese warlord convicted of using child soldiers. Thomas Lubanga was convicted in March of recruiting and using children in his Union of Congolese Patriots militia, sending them to kill and be killed during fighting in Congo's eastern Ituri region in 2002-2003. Presiding Judge Adrian Fulford said the sentence reflected the need to protect children in wartime. "The vulnerability of children means they need to be afforded particular protection," he said at the sentencing hearing. The 51-year-old Lubanga is the first person convicted by the 10-year-old permanent war crimes tribunal. Rights activists hailed the case as a milestone in efforts to prosecute the widespread use of child soldiers in conflicts around the world. Prosecutors had asked for a 30-year sentence, but said they would be willing to cut it to 20 years if Lubanga offered a "genuine apology" to victims of his crimes. Lubanga, wearing a gray suit and tie, showed no emotion as Fulford read out the sentence. He can appeal his conviction and sentence. Fulford said that time Lubanga has served in pretrial detention since March 2006 would be deducted from the sentence. It was not immediately clear where Lubanga would serve his sentence.

Syria, Iran protected by selfish nations
Syria, Iran protected by selfish nations: China and India, ignoring Western sanctions, continue buying oil from Iran at a furious rate. [...] after European Union sanctions took effect July 1, both countries actually began purchasing even more Iranian oil. [...] look at what they do and you'll see that actually they're totally self-interested. Nearly half the nation's children suffer from stunting, meaning they don't grow properly physically or mentally because of malnutrition during infancy. Meantime, the government estimates that Chinese citizens last year staged at least 180,000 "mass incidents," as the government calls them - large local protests over corruption, land seizures, pollution, job safety and a dozen other social ills. On July 21, President Vladimir Putin signed into law a bill branding foreign-funded nongovernmental organizations as "foreign agents," authorizing potentially obtrusive regulation of organizations including Oxfam, Doctors of the World and the International Committee of the Red Cross. In just the last two months he has signed bills authorizing draconian fines for people who protest against him. On July 20, his courts sentenced three young women, members of a punk rock group, to six more months in prison on top of four already served, for criticizing Putin in a song.

Daughter of Syria’s U.N. envoy slams Assad, says country is destroyed
Daughter of Syria’s U.N. envoy slams Assad, says country is destroyed: While Sherry Jaafari was unapologetic about working for Bashar al-Assad, she was at the same time looking for a way out of the presidential palace in Damascus. The 22-year-old wanted to return to the United States and live like a normal girl. What she did while serving as a media adviser to Assad was what "any ambitious American girl would do," she told the Daily Telegraph last month.
Previously leaked emails showed how well-known American journalist Barbara Waters has helped Jaafari, the daughter of Syria's envoy to the United Nations to enroll at the prestigious

Five reasons why Syria may be at a tipping point: Since the start of the conflict in Syria, international observers have been watching the government of President Bashar al-Assad for signs that the once-feared regime might be vulnerable to overthrow. Despite Syrian efforts to crush the rebels and to stifle news out of the country, this past week has shown the strongest evidence yet that the end of the Assad regime may be near. Here are five signs that the Syrian conflict may finally be tipping in favor of the rebels.

Foreigners join fight against ‘apostate’ Syria regime
Foreigners join fight against ‘apostate’ Syria regime: In restive northwest Syria, the uprising has found an unlikely new partner in the struggle against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad: foreign Islamists who are joining the fight.
But rather than adopt the revolt’s calls for democracy and the fall of a dictatorial regime, such jihadists believe the minority Alawite sect -- an offshoot of Shiite Islam to which Assad’s family belongs -- are “apostates” and need to be fought and overthrown.
At the Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, seized by the rebel Free Syrian Army last week, dozens of men claiming to

But the early days of life back in Iraq have not been easy for those who made the trip.

Reports: 30 Feared Killed As Syrian Forces Attack Worshippers: AMMAN, July 24 (Reuters) - Syrian forces killed up to 30 worshippers on Tuesday as they converged on a mosque to perform Ramadan evening prayers in a village northwest of the city of Hama, opposition activists said. "Troops and shabbiha (militia loyal to President Bashar al-Assad) left the roadblock on the edge of Shariaa and crossed the main road and began firing automatic rifles at the worshippers as they were entering the mosque," Jamil al-Hamwi, one of the activists, said by telephone from al-Ghab Plain. "We have confirmed the names for 15 bodies and there is a similar number estimated still to be collected from the streets," Hamwi, who uses a pseudonym for safety reasons, said.

Activists: 6 Children Killed In Shelling
Activists: 6 Children Killed In Shelling: AMMAN, July 24 (Reuters) - A Syrian army bombardment killed at least six children and four other civilians on Tuesday in the town of Herak on the southern Hauran Plain, opposition activists said, and a video showed mangled bodies laid out in a local hospital. "Artillery and mortar rounds hit several residential streets in Herak. Most of the children who were killed were living on the same street," Shams al-Horani, one of the activists, told Reuters by phone from the city of Deraa, birthplace of the 16-month-old revolt against President Bashar al-Assad. "The army is shelling Herak, al-Nuiameh, Dael, Khirbat Ghazaleh and Old Deraa from the Malaab al-Baladi (football stadium) in Deraa," she added. Opposition sources said Assad's forces had largely lost control of Deraa and the main population centres in Hauran, which stretches from the outskirts of the capital Damascus to the border with Jordan. But the army has been heavily shelling the areas under rebel control for the last week and dozens of people, mostly civilians, have been killed, the sources said. Video footage posted on the Internet showed the bodies of several children in Herak with holes in their legs, torso and head, and a dead woman on the floor of a hospital. One young girl wearing a pink and blue top with stars and hearts on it lay on a doctor's table.
