Syria’s new government has formed a committee to investigate reported mass revenge killings of a minority group – after the United Nations human rights chief called for “swift actions”.
Violent clashes, which a war monitoring group said had already killed 1,311 people, have continued for a fourth day in deposed president Bashar al Assad‘s coastal heartland.
Volker Turk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, said in a statement: “The caretaker authorities’ announcements of their intention to respect the law must be followed by swift actions to protect Syrians, including by taking all necessary measures to prevent any violations and abuses and achieve accountability when these occur.”
