BEIRUT, (Reuters) – A second Syrian lawmaker told al-Jazeera television today he was resigning from parliament in protest at the killing of demonstrators.
Lawmaker Khalil al-Rifaei joined his colleague Naser al-Hariri, both representatives of the troubled city of Deraa, and announced his resignation on air, saying it was because of the killings of pro-democracy protesters.
“Security solutions do not work,” Rifaei said.
