Syria Condemns "Mob-Like" Actions After Latakia Unrest

DAMASCUS, Dec. 30 (SANA) – Syria's Interior Ministry stated Tuesday that individual mistakes cannot justify wider violations.

He said such acts are unacceptable and will be addressed by law. The statement follows reported unrest in the coastal province of Latakia. It emphasized that the actions of certain individuals should not be used to excuse other abuses.
