A leaked video from one of the detention centers of the Syrian regime in
Kafranbel shows the brutal level of violence being used by Syrian
forces against alleged detainees.



The release of the amateur video comes a few days after the United
Nations accused both the Syrian government and opposition fighters of
committing “serious” rights violations.



U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay renewed an appeal for the 15-nation
council to refer the Syria conflict to the International Criminal Court
but acknowledged that it would be a “political” decision.



The U.N. official also said that both the government and the rebels are
receiving more and more weapons, which is fueling violence in a 16-month
conflict against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.



She said both sides appear to have committed war crimes.



The United Nations has said the violence has killed more than 10,000
people, while activist groups have put the death toll at more than
15,000.
