Syria opposition wants no-fly zone, corridors
August 31, 2012
The opposition Syrian National Council urged the United Nations Security Council to impose a no-fly zone and humanitarian corridors to protect civilians caught in Syria's conflict, in a statement issued ahead of a UN council meeting on Thursday.
The SNC, accusing the government of "crimes" and 'barbaric acts', said a no-fly zone and corridors were essential to protect almost 2.5 million civilians displaced by the conflict or who had fled across the borders with Syria's neighbours.
