Syria: Government doing ‘everything we can’ to rescue trapped journalists, says Andrew Mitchell

“We are demanding unfettered access for the humanitarian agencies who are
there on the ground. We continue to push in every way we possibly can for
this unfettered access,” he said.

He indicated Britain would oppose any moves by countries in the region to
supply arms to the Syrian rebels, as they demanded at Friday’s meeting in
Tunis of the international Friends of Syria group.

“We need to stop the fighting, not boost it in any way at all,” he
said.

He warned, however, that the regime would be held to account for its actions.

“This is an evil regime that has turned its guns on its own people. It is
despicable what’s happening and we will hold them to account in every way
that we can for the human rights abuses that are going on,” he said.
