Syrian regime attack civilans despite nominal ceasefire

Gunjan Priya — Mon, 14 May 2012 09:37:31 +0000

Heavy clashes between Syrian security forces and activists fighting against President Assad’s regime have killed 23 soldiers in Rastan.

A UK-based activist group called as Syrian Observatory for Human Rights revealed that many activists and soldiers were wounded in Homs Province.

The group also reported that security forces have lost three of their troop carriers during the clash.

However, the report of deaths and destruction of troop carriers were not confirmed yet by the Syrian government.

This attack defies the expectation of international community after UN had called for a ceasefire which was to be implemented a month back.

On Sunday, 30 people including many civilians lost their lives. Yet, the reports could not be confirmed owing to severe restrictions imposed on media by the Syrian security forces.
UN sources reported that they have deployed 189 observers in Syria under the six-point peace plan initiated by Kofi Annan, UN-Arab League envoy.

According to UN estimates more than 9,000 Syrians have died so far opposing the Pr-Assad regime since March 2011. There was a massive bomb attack in Damascus by radical Islamist group on Saturday.
