In his first American interview since Syria’s popular uprising, President Bashar al-Assad sat down with ABC’s Barbara Walters. Assad denied ordering a bloody crackdown on protesters. Walters mentioned graphic photos of detained and beaten citizens, but Assad called the criticism against him “false allegations” and “distortion of reality.”
Last week, the UN estimated the death toll in the Syrian uprising at 4,000. Watch Assad’s interview below:
