Amnesty: Syria's diplomats harass dissidents

LONDON - Syrian diplomats in foreign capitals are mounting campaigns of harassment and threats against expatriate dissidents protesting outside their embassies, Amnesty International said on Tuesday.
Syrian opposition supporters have mounted noisy protests outside many embassies in recent months as the government of Bashar Assad has tried to put down unrest with what observers say has been a bloody crackdown.
Amnesty said embassy officials had filmed and threatened some of those involved in protests outside Syria, and that in some cases relatives in Syria had been deliberately targeted for harassment, detention, torture and outright disappearance.
