| Subject: More anti-government protesters murdered by Syrian statists Thu Sep 29, 2011 6:50 am | |
| Syrian security forces killed at least 17 protesters yesterday as Europeans in the United Nations Security Council moved toward agreement with Russia and China on a resolution pressing Syria to halt the violence.
The killings took place yesterday in the central governorate of Homs, the northern province of Idlib and southern area of Daraa, part of a crackdown on protests against President Bashar al-Assad’s government that began seven months ago, Mahmoud Merhi, head of the Arab Organization for Human Rights, said by phone today.
Envoys from Britain, France, Germany and Portugal said late yesterday that they would circulate a new draft resolution that takes into account Russia’s concerns about their threat to impose sanctions on Syria’s government.
“I think we are very close,” Ambassador Baso Sangqu of South Africa, a Security Council member, said after a two-hour meeting in New York yesterday. “I think something will emerge.”
