Syrian rights activists say government security forces have killed 11 people and wounded many others in northwestern Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the most recent killings were in Idlib province, an area near the border with Turkey. On Monday, United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay said she has seen reports that more than five thousand people have been killed in Syria since March. She said the International Criminal Court should investigate the country’s political unrest. "So, it is based on the evidence and the widespread and systematic nature of the killings, the detentions and the acts of torturer that I felt that these acts constituted crimes against humanity and I recommended that there should be a referral further to the International Criminal Court." Ms. Pillay also warned that more violence could take place in the Syrian city of Homs.
