One of the fifty Arab League observers visiting Damascus called the Assad regime's killings a genocide.
Speaking to Al Arabiya broadcaster on Monday, Mostashar Mahgoub said,
"what's happening in Syria is genocide."
"This is a regime is taking revenge on its people."
The Arab League observers started arriving in Syria on Friday.
The observers will judge whether Syria is implementing a peace plan it agreed to after pressure by the Arab League and Turkey. The plan includes withdrawal of troops from the streets, release of prisoners, and dialogue with the opposition.
