Russian arms dealer targeted over #Syria
Russian arms dealer targeted over Syria

PARIS, June 11 (UPI) — Human Rights Watch objected to a French arms expo featuring a Russian military company thought to be a major supplier to Syrian government forces.The Eurosatory arms show gets under way in France this week, featuring more than 1,000 exhibitors from 70 countries.
Human Rights Watch said it objected to the participation of Russian arms supplier Rosoboronexport at the event.
Jean-Marie Fardeau, French director for Human Rights Watch, said it’s duplicitous for the French government to both condemn the Syrian government for the ongoing bloodshed and host one of Syria’s largest arms suppliers.

“It’s not acceptable to do business as usual with a company arming a government engaged in atrocities against its people,” he said in a statement.
The rights organization says that providing weapons to Syria while the government there is suspected of committing crimes against humanity may by a violation of international law.
U.N. officials last week said they suspected Syria had committed atrocities against its people during a series of massacres the government in Damascus blames on terrorists.
Russia and China are among the leading critics of formal action against Syria at the U.N. Security Council.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague told Sky News he would continue to pressure Russian officials to get in line behind the peace plan brokered by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
“Every other solution of any kind to the Syrian crisis involves a lot more deaths,” he said.

Syrian Revolution Digest: A Bouquet of Massacres! -A Bouquet of Massacres!
Why settle for one massacre a day when you can get away with many? Why stop killing when the price will be paid by others, when your worst case scenario is a small fiefdom of your own, when there is no accountability worthy of the name? Assad and his cronies will keep killing, because even their worst case scenario at this stage is a win. They might lose Syria, only to win an Assadstan.Monday June 11, 2012
Today’s death toll: 109. The Breakdown: 36 in Idlib, 19 in Deir Ezzor, 17 in Homs, 15 in Hama, 10 in Damascus (8 in the suburbs and 2 in Barzeh neighborhood), 6 in Lattakia, 5 in Aleppo and 1 in Daraa.
A series of massacres against local villages perpetrated by pro-Assad militias in Idlib Province claimed the lives of 36 people today.
Local activists in Deir Ezzor City report that a mortar round that landed in the midst of an anti-Assad rally in Jbeileh Neighborhood around midnight killed close to 50 protesters. More details to emerge tomorrow.
Tanks, choppers and heavy artillery continue to take part in the pounding of communities in the rural areas of Aleppo, Idlib Hama and Homs continues.
The airbase of Ghanto briefly help by local resistance yesterday returned to army control today after local fighters were forced to withdraw under heavy shelling, but not before emptying the weapons depots. Only surface-to-air missiles used in pounding Homs City and other restive communities were left behind.
