UN Says 3500 Killed So Far In Syrian Uprising

The United Nations says, at least 3,500 people have been killed in the Syrian government's eight month crackdown on dissent. 

A spokeswoman for the U.N. High Commissioner on Human Rights has said the total includes 19 people killed on 6^th Nov during the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha. 

Nearly a week of deadly assaults has killed more than 110 people, despite a deal struck with the Arab League to halt the violence. Syrian ambassador to the Arab League Youssef Ahmed said Syria has taken significant steps toward fulfilling the deal, such as releasing 500 prisoners as part of a conditional amnesty. 

The Arab League has scheduled an emergency meeting in Cairo this coming on 12^th November to discuss Syria's failure to implement the agreement to halt violence against protesters.
