Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe United States said Monday nearly 128,000 people face arbitrary detention by the Syrian regime and called for their release. “This practice is unacceptable,” US Ambassador Kelly Craft told the UN Security Council at its monthly meeting on the conflict in Syria. “The Assad regime must release detainees and provide international monitors access to detention centers,” she said. Last week, the Syrian regime stressed that no deadline has been set for the committee to conclude its work.
