Syrian opposition to meet UN envoy over humanitarian demands

Members of the main Syrian opposition group have said they plan to give UN envoy Staffan de Mistura a “roadmap” for implementation of their humanitarian demands they say must happen before they formally join indirect peace talks.

Farah Atassi, a member of the opposition coalition known as the High Negotiations Committee, said the top priority should be to stop the “unprecedented bombardment by the Syrian regime” of rebel-held suburbs of the Syrian capital Damascus.
