Syria release of prisoners not enough: US
WASHINGTON: The United States said Wednesday that Syria's release of political prisoners "does not go far enough," adding that all such inmates should be freed and the government should undertake reform.

"We need to see all political prisoners released. We need to see meaningful movement toward reform," State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner told reporters.

"The gesture of releasing 100 or so political prisoners doesn't go far enough," he added. (AFP)
