BBC News - Syria unrest: 'First woman dies in detention'

BBC News - Syria unrest: 'First woman dies in detention': "According to the London-based human rights group, the 18-year-old's body had been decapitated, the arms cut off and the skin removed.

"If it is confirmed that Zainab was in custody when she died, this would be one of the most disturbing cases of a death in detention we have seen so far," said Philip Luther, Amnesty's deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa."
