A Syrian man says nine of his friends "fell down like birds" after they were shot dead by government forces during a protest.

Afterwards Ayman Hirh, who ran a successful construction business in Damascus, fled Syria in fear of his and his family's lives in 2012.

Mr Hirh, his wife and twin sons now live in a small flat in Edinburgh.

He told reporter James Shaw what he saw that day.
