Human rights monitors said the regime also deployed tanks to Aleppo, Syria’s
second largest city, for the first time since the uprising against President
Bashar al-Assad began last March. Aleppo, Syria’s economic hub, has
previously been largely a bastion of support for the regime.
There was no immediate independent confirmation of the opposition accounts,
which the Syrian government often claims are exaggerated. Damascus has
restricted access for foreign journalists during the anti-regime protests.
In a briefing to the UN Security Council, Ban Ki-Moon, the UN Secretary
General, conceded there had been little progress in efforts to organise a
ceasefire and that fighting was likely to continue as rebels held “significant”
portions of several cities.
Mr Annan brokered a peace deal last month but it has had little impact and
more than 1,500 people have been killed since it was announced, according to
the Observatory.
Describing the killing in Houla, Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the monitoring
group, said: “It was a real massacre that took place and the UN
observers are just staying silent.”
He added said helicopter gunships also went into action against rebels,
strafing mountain villages in the Latakia area of northwestern Syria, near
the Turkish border, wounding at least 20 people.
At least four policemen were killed in clashes with rebels in nearby Kansebba,
he said.
Hours after massive anti-regime rallies across Aleppo, tanks deployed in the
city, rumbling through the Kalasse and Bustan al-Kasr neighbourhoods after
thousands attended a funeral, the monitoring group said.
Earlier it reported that a young man was killed in Aleppo when troops fired
with live rounds and tear gas on protesters in the city.
Mr Abdel Rahman told AFP in Beirut that the protests in Aleppo were “the
most important” in the city since the uprising started in March 2011.
