Arab League to discuss Syria crisis
Saturday, Aug 27, 2011
Gulf News
Dubai The Arab League will discuss Syria’s growing political turmoil in Cairo today as more protesters were killed yesterday during cross-country demonstrations dubbed by activists as the rally for ‘patience and determination’.
Activists also called for a silent protest in the typically calm city of Aleppo urging protesters to gather in silence after Taraweeh prayers. The nation has slipped into escalated violence during Ramadan with rights groups putting the death toll at over 2,000 since the uprising began in March.
The Emir of Qatar yesterday sharply criticised the use of force against protesters during a visit to Iran. “Everyone knows that the security approach has proven fruitless and the Syrian people do not seem about to abandon their demands after the price they have paid,” Shaikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani said. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that western interference would complicate the issue. “Regional countries can resolve [their] own issues,” he said.
