The pro-democracy protest against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has entered the seventh month . Over 2,600 protesters have been killed according to the UN Human Rights Committee.The protesters are calling for democracy and freedom and are demanding that Assad should step down .
The tribunal was created by a 2007 UN Security Council resolution, at Lebanon’s request, to try those responsible for former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s assassination. He was killed in a suicide car bombing on February 14, 2005.
