Human Rights Watch Daily Brief, 20 April 2016
Displaced Syrians shelled near Turkey border; Syria's barrel bombs; put Yemen war on Obama's Saudi agenda; Taliban target civilians in Afghanistan; milk fears for migrant babies; Tanzania's widows; Indonesia shines light on massacres; why war on drugs has failed; & honour not lost in rape...Displaced Syrians living in camps near to the border with Turkey have come under fire from the Syrian military, Human Rights Watch said today. Two camps have been hit in the past few days, causing no fatalities but damaging tents and property. Thousand of Syrians remain stranded like "sitting ducks" because Turkey has shut its border with Syria.
