GENEVA ? The U.N.'s top human rights official has called for a full investigation of alleged abuses carried out by Syrian authorities against anti-government protesters.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, says her office has received reliable reports that up to 10,000 people have been detained and over 1,100 have been killed, most of them unarmed civilians.
Pillay said in a statement to the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council on Wednesday that "among those detained, human rights defenders, political activists, and journalists were particularly targeted."
She says her office "has received information indicating that Syrian security forces have perpetrated acts of torture and other cruel and inhuman treatment ... resulting in deaths in custody in some cases."
