France holds Syria responsible for safety of French citizens

None

France holds Syria responsible for the safety of its citizens there, Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Wednesday, after a French photographer was killed in a Syrian army bombardment of a rebel stronghold.

 

Juppe said that a Syrian army ceasefire in order to give rapid access to humanitarian aid was "imperative", adding that the response by the Syrian government to the wounding of a second French journalist who was reportedly in danger of dying from her wounds was insufficient. (Reuters)
