1,100 civilians [allegedly] killed in Syria uprising-group
AMMAN - Syrian troops and security forces have killed at least 1,100 civilians in their two-month campaign to crush pro-democracy demonstrations, Syrian human rights organization Sawasiah said on Tuesday.
Sawasiah said it had the names of the 1,100 people who it reported were killed mostly in the southern Hauran Plain region, where the uprising erupted on March 18. The death toll rose sharply after street protests grew in number and spread out from the south, prompting a military crackdown, Sawasiah said.
