Ex-Dara'a gov. barred from leaving Syria
2011-06-14
A Syrian judicial committee has issued travel bans against former Dara'a Governor Faysal Kalthoum and Brig. Gen. Atif Najib.

The two officials were barred from traveling outside Syria by the Special Judicial Committee, which is tasked with investigating the circumstances that led to the death or injury of citizens in the southern province of Dara'a.

Judge Mohammed Deeb al-Muqatran of the Special Judicial Committee said the travel ban was a precautionary procedure in order for Najib to be available for questioning.

Al-Muqatran was quoted by the Syrian state television

as saying on Monday that "no one has immunity, whoever he is."

Scores of people, including security forces and soldiers, have been killed across Syria since the beginning of protests in mid-March.

Syrian opposition holds the security forces responsible for the killings, while the country's authorities blame an gang, which has confessed to receiving weapons and money to kill people and security forces and cause chaos.
