EU sanctions Syrian militia groups over ethnic violence targeting Alawites

The EU on Wednesday imposed sanctions on three Syrian militia groups and two of their leaders over human rights abuses committed against members of Syria’s Alawite minority during a round of deadly ethnic violence in March. It came a week after the 27-nation bloc agreed to lift sanctions on Syria in a bid to help the country recover after Bashar al-Assad’s ouster.
