Syrian forces are being accused of killing more civilians in the ongoing crackdown on protests challenging President Bashar al-Assad. The head of the Syrian Organization for Human Rights, Ammar Qurabi, says at least 13 civilians were killed in the town of Rastan this week while another 10 were killed in the town of Hirak.

Ammar Qurabi: “We have names from Hirak. More 10 people who killed by the fire, and four of them as doctors who take the treatment and give the treatment about (to) the injured people on the street, but unfortunately they received the fire from the sniper on the roof of the buildings around these places.”
