As the Syrian army closes in on the last remaining rebel fighters in Aleppo, the UN has said it has received detailed reports of massacres of unarmed civilians, allegedly by pro-government militias. Fares Shehabi, a member of Syria's parliament for Aleppo, said atrocities were only being committed by terrorist groups and the Syrian government was doing everything possible to protect civilians.
