Syria Court Sentences Bashar al-Assad and Naguib
A Damascus court sentenced Bashar al-Assad and his brother Maher al-Assad, as well as former security official Atef Najeeb, to death on charges of murder and torture. This marks the first time the Assad regime has been publicly condemned, with Najeeb sentenced in absentia to death for his responsibility in acts of torture and crimes against humanity, including the Daraa massacre and the arrests that sparked protests in 2011. These trials are part of the efforts by the National Transitional Justice Commission to hold former officials accountable for human rights violations in Syria.
