25 Killed in Syria; U.N. Human Rights Council Condemns Crackdown 
-----------------------------------------------------------------



At least 25 people were killed in Syria over the weekend in the ongoing
crackdown on the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad. The clashes
follow a vote on Friday by the United Nations Human Rights Council to
condemn Syria for what it called, "widespread, systematic and gross
violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms."
