At Least 13 Killed in Syrian Protest Violence
VOA News
Demonstrators protesting against Syria's President Bashar al-Assad gather in Deraa, in this undated handout released November 11, 2011.
Human rights activists say Syrian forces have killed at least 13 people during anti-government protests around the country Friday, as the government faces new accusations that it may be guilty of "crimes against humanity."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says most of Friday's casualties occurred in the Homs region. Security forces have launched a series of raids in the city in search of dissidents, and activists said Syrian soldiers also were killed in an apparent ambush.
The casualty figures could not be independently verified because Syria bars most foreign journalists from operating in the country.
The fresh violence coincides with the Friday release of a Human Rights Watch report, saying Syrian authorities may be guilty of crimes against humanity for alleged torture and unlawful killings.
Human rights groups and opposition leaders to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have urged the demonstrators to call for a suspension of Syria's Arab League membership. The 22-member league will hold an emergency meeting in Cairo on Saturday to discuss Syria's unrest.
That meeting follows an apparent breakdown of the Arab-League brokered agreement that calls on the Syrian government to end its brutal crackdown on dissent.
Earlier this month, Syria announced that it had agreed to the plan, which includes a withdrawal of security forces from the streets and talks with the opposition. However, activists and witnesses have reported continued violence.
On Thursday, Amnesty International called on the Arab League to press Syria to allow independent monitors to enter the country.
Earlier in the week, the U.N. human rights office said at least 3,500 people had been killed in the country since protests against President Assad began in March.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.

The ones posting positive comments in favor of Assad and the Alewite Syrian government are actually Alewite Syrian agents. What Assad and the Alewites must realize is that they are the minority and only represent 10% off Syria. THE MAJORITY OF SYRIA AND THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD IS AGAINST. GOOD WILL OVERCOME EVIL. FREEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!

I saw the defectors from Syrian army who call themselves free Syrian army which have been insisting to turn this conflict to civil war and regulated conflict in YouTube . It is so obvious that Syrian army has been facing armed defectors who have been ready to use bloody violence against Syrian soldiers as traitors of Bashar regime . What is remarkable is that each side is accused other of traitors and enemy of Syrians which indicates that opposition is still struggling to gain more supporters and fund.

What human being in their right mind would justify this mass murder? Individuals that list postings defending Assad and his Ba'athist killers are just as sick as they are. The Syrian people deserve better than this.

What do you think ?
Các anh chị nghĩ thế nào, có ý kiến phê bình gì qua bài viết "At Least 13 Killed in Syrian Protest Violence" và 3 Ý kiến phê bình từ "4 Comments" của đọc giả ?
Kẻ cầm quyền mà chủ trương GIẾT DÂN một cách tàn bạo và coi việc đối thọai với dân là "phí thời gian" (như độc tài Assad đã làm, đã nói), hãy khách quan mà nhận xét, kẻ cầm quyền đó có CẦN PHẢI LẬT ĐỔ, XÓA BỎ hay không ?
Còn nữa, độc tài Assad chỉ "mới" GIẾT có gần 4000 người dân Syria, còn bè lũ súc sinh phản quốc CƯỚP NƯỚC DIỆT CHỦNG BÁN NƯỚC ĐỘC tài ĐỘC đảng Việt gian cộng sản VN, đã giết khỏang 12 triệu dân VN và chúng còn đang tiếp tục GIẾT .
Với chủ trương đưa dân VN xuống hàng chó ngựa và BÁN NƯỚC cầu vinh của bè lũ Việt gian cộng sản VN , thử hỏi bọn cầm quyền thú vật Việt cộng này có đáng cho Dân VN LẬT ĐỔ và XỬ TỘI BÁN NƯỚC DIỆT CHỦNG ???
Khi TỘI ÁC của những tên cầm quyền đã RÕ RÀNG, những kẻ nào cố tình bao che, dung dưỡng cho những tên cầm quyền tiếp tục làm TỘI ÁC là đồng lõa với TỘI ÁC vậy .
