Home Affairs Committee Title: Policing the G20 Protests: Report, together with formal minutes, oral and written evidence Summary: The policing of the G20 Protests was a very successful operation; more than 35,000 protesters demonstrated in the center of London with a police presence of several thousand, yet there was a minimum of disruption to the city. Aside from a few high-profile incidents, the policing of the G20 Protests passed without drama. However, these high-profile incidents and the tactics that led to them caused considerable adverse comment and have the potential to seriously damage the public's faith in the police. In addition, it was noted that while the vast majority of officers on duty performed very well, there is concern that untrained and inexperienced officers were placed in such a highly combustible atmosphere.

Author: Amnesty International Title: Deadly Detention: Deaths in Custody Amid Popular Protest in Syria Summary: Relentless repression has marked Syria since March 2011, as the government continues its efforts to stifle increasing numbers of pro-reform protests. Scores of people – believed to have been detained for their actual or suspected involvement in the protests – are reported to have died in custody. some were children. however, the Syrian authorities have failed to carry out credible investigations into any of the cases or ensure accountability for the perpetrators. In more than half of the cases, people filmed the bodies to record and show the world their injuries. many of them appear to have been tortured. Forensic experts contacted by amnesty international analyzed the footage to help determine possible causes of death. Amnesty International concludes that the torture reported here has been committed as part of a widespread, as well as systematic, attack on the civilian population – crimes against humanity. it is calling on the UN Security Council to refer the situation in Syria immediately to the prosecutor of the international criminal court.
