Arab League plans Syria sanctions

Help

Members of the Arab League have drafted a list of economic sanctions to impose on Syria, after a meeting in Cairo.

The proposals include the halting of dealings with the Syrian central bank, the suspension of commercial flights and a travel ban on senior officials.

Arab ministers are to vote on the proposals on Sunday - the latest move to punish Syria for its continuing brutal crackdown on protesters. Will Grant reports.
