LONDON
British Foreign Secretary William Hague has called reports and photos that are said to be evidence that the Assad regime in Syria operated a systematic program of torture and execution "shocking."
"Shocking report," Hague said on his official Twitter account in response to a question. "Adds to evidence of systematic brutality against Syrian people. There must be accountability."
Images and a report by a team of senior war crimes prosecutors obtained by Anadolu Agency show the systematic killing of nearly 11,000 detainees at the hands of Syrian regime forces. Many of the victims show signs of torture.
