The Arab League has sent an "urgent message" to the Syrian government, denouncing "the continued killings of civilians" taking part in protests.

The League's ministerial committee on the Syrian crisis also urged Damascus to "take the necessary measures" to protect civilians.

The call came as at least 37 protesters were killed in Syria, activists said.

More than 3,000 people have died in the unrest since protests broke out in March.

3. Good to see the Arab League to actually take a stance against the killings.

Usually the Arab League is loath to criticize it's own members, especially one of the founders. This is a sure sign that nobody is prepared to back up Assad.
