Syrian death toll tops 3,500, UN claims

More than 3,500 people have been killed in the Syrian regime's brutal crackdown on dissent, the UN human rights office has said, deploring the slaughter that went on despite a peace plan.

More than 60 people have been reportedly killed by military and security forces since Syria signed the peace plan sponsored by the Arab League, including 19 on Eid al-Adha on Sunday.

President Bashar al-Assad's government signed on to the Arab League peace plan on November 2.

The Arab road map calls for an end to violence, the release of those detained, the withdrawal of the army from urban areas and free movement for observers and the media, as well as talks between the regime and opposition.

As a first step, Syria on Saturday said it had released more than 550 people who were arrested during anti-regime protests, to mark the Eid al-Adha Muslim feast.

However, Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, noted that despite the release, "thousands continue to remain in detention and dozens continue to be arbitrarily arrested every day."

"Syrian troops continue to use tanks and heavy weaponry to attack residential areas in the city of Homs," she said, referring to the flashpoint central city where protests against Assad's rule were held in most districts despite a weeks-long military crackdown.

"This has been extraordinarily disappointing," she said.

"There was a peace plan by the league of Arab states that the Syrian government had engaged to, but since the peace plan was signed, there have been further killings, further sieges of towns and really shocking reports coming out from the ground.
