EU steps up sanctions on Syria by banning oil imports

The EU has stepped up sanctions on Syria by banning imports of its oil, as protests again broke out against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad.

Oil accounts for about 25% of Syria's income and EU member states take about 95% of its oil exports.

Meanwhile, at least 14 people were reportedly killed as protesters again came out in force across the country.
