Syria funeral is focus of Kurdish anger


"The four coffins, draped in Kurdish flags, were taken to the cemetery in pickup trucks and then carried to the graves. Loudspeakers played songs celebrating Kurdish "martyrs" of past struggles. A speaker who was no more than 12 years old used a microphone to lead antigovernment chants."
It obviously breaks the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child (which I recall all governments other than the US and Somalia have signed) to allow a twelve year old to be chanting.
