People In Istanbul Hang Effigy of Assad In Show Of Anger

People, displaying Turkish, Syrian and Palestinian flags, carry an effigy of Syrian leader Bashar Assad during a rally in Istanbul, Turkey, late Thursday, May 31, 2012. Addressing a summit of the Alliance of Civilizations, a forum promoting understanding between the Western and Islamic worlds, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Syria Thursday to stop its attacks, saying U.N. observers monitoring the cease-fire were not there to watch the killing of innocent people, days after more than 100 people were massacred in Syria’s central Houla region. <AP/Newsis>
