Former Syrian Grand Mufti Gets Life Sentence
A Syrian court has issued a life prison sentence to former Grand Mufti Ahmed Badr al-Din Hassoun, following his conviction on charges including inciting sectarian violence and abusing his position during President Bashar al-Assad's rule. The court confirmed that Hassoun was found guilty of offenses such as acts aimed at igniting civil war, inciting murder, deliberate involvement in killings, and stirring sectarian and racial tensions. His assets were also confiscated for the benefit of the public treasury, with the option to appeal the verdict. Hassoun, who served as Grand Mufti for over 16 years and was close to Assad, is known for his pro-government stances, and appeared during the sentencing session looking frail and behind bars. This marks the first court ruling against a religious figure as part of the ongoing trials of senior figures from the previous regime in Syria, following convictions of prominent security and military leaders.
