UN ‘concerned’ by standstill in Duma probe

Nickolay Mladenov, the UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, says he is “concerned by the lack of progress in identifying and prosecuting the perpetrators of this outrage.”

“The tragedy of the Dawabsha family serves as a shocking example of the destructive nature of extremism,” he says.

“It is incumbent upon political, religious and community leaders to speak out and to act decisively against those who incite and perpetrate hatred on all sides.”
