The France 24 website reports that the Arab League today (November 12, 2011) suspended Syria until President Bashar al-Assad implements an Arab deal to end violence against protesters, and called for sanctions and transition talks with the opposition.
A statement said the League decided "to suspend Syrian delegations' activities in Arab League meetings" if it continued to stall the Arab plan and to implement "economic and political sanctions against the Syrian government."
It also called for withdrawal of Arab ambassadors from Damascus, but left that decision to each Arab state.
The decision will take effect on November 16.
