SKS: We condemn in strongest terms the killing of Mesha’al al-Tammo

2011-Oct-7-meshal_tammo-1SKS, Support Kurds in Syria, — Mesha’al al-Tammo has been shot today in Qamishli. We send our deep condolences to his family and friends, and to his political colleagues in the Kurdish Future Party. Responsibility for the killing lies with the Syrian regime, whether their forces killed him, or he was killed by others – the Government has a duty of care towards its citizens.

Nadim Houry from HRW confirms that he was killed today while at a private residence. His son Marcel and a female activist wounded.

This is distressing evidence of his death: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX_84Bsq_0E&feature=player_embedded#!
