EU considers sanctions against Assad regime supporters

The European Union is weighing sanctions against supporters of President Bashar Assad if they fail to stop atrocities in Syria, RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty reports.

That's according to a draft statement obtained by RFE/RL before a summit of EU leaders opens in Brussels later on October 20.

The text says the bloc is "considering all options, including further restrictive measures targeting individuals and entities supporting the [Syrian] regime, should the current atrocities continue."
