UN head sees possible crimes against humanity in Syria

None

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on Syrian authorities to stop killing civilians and said potential crimes against humanity were taking place in the country.

 

"We see neighbourhoods shelled indiscriminately, hospitals used as torture centres, children as young as 10 years old jailed and abused. We see almost certain crimes against humanity," he told reporters after meeting Austrian President Heinz Fischer on Thursday. (Reuters)
