The UN human rights chief has called for a full investigation of alleged abuses carried out by Syrian authorities against anti-government protesters.
Navi Pillay, the high commisioner for human rights, said on Wednesday that her office had received reliable reports that up to 10,000 people have been detained and more than 1,100 killed, most of them unarmed civilians.
Pillay told the Human Rights Council in Geneva that there were "numerous cases emerging of the torture and ill-treatment of detainees".
She said human rights campaigners, political activists and journalists had been particularly targeted among those detained.
