Syria: At least 20 die as HRW speaks on crimes against humanity

Syrian security forces fired on anti-government protests Friday, killing at least 20 people, activists said. The bloodshed came as Human Rights Watch accused Bashar Assad's regime of possible crimes against humanity in the crackdown that has killed at least 3,500 since mid-March, the AP reported.

In addition to ongoing military operations in the flashpoint city of Homs, activists said fierce clashes were taking place Friday in the northern town of Khan Shaikhoun near the Turkish border between the military and army defectors.
