Did you send this to Landmines Working Group (ngo-lwg at ngocentre.org.vn)?  Probably of interest to them also.  VN Ministry of Defense, U.S. DoS and DoD are on the distribution list.  They need to see it too.

>It was around 3 p.m. when the helicopter dropped a cluster bomb near the home of 60-year-old Umm Nazir. Shrapnel from an exploding bomblet wounded her, and a doctor had to amputate her legs in a field hospital. 
>Human Rights Watch documented the Syrian government’s increasing use of cluster bombs in rebel-held areas in the past two weeks. These weapons, banned by most countries, are particularly dangerous to civilians because they release numerous bomblets over a large area. Many don’t explode on impact, and can maim and kill years later. 
>Syria’s government denies using these weapons, but our evidence – from both interviews and video analysis – refutes this.

British authorities had rejected their applications for asylum, despite increasing information that Tamils suspected of anti-government sympathies faced torture back home.
