Damascus Court Sentences Assad and Allies
The Damascus Criminal Court issued death sentences against former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, his brother Maher al-Assad, and several key figures of the Syrian regime in a case related to crimes against humanity committed during their reign, including premeditated murder, torture resulting in death, and arbitrary detention. The court sentenced Bashar al-Assad to death in absentia, while a death sentence was handed down in person to Aatef Najeeb, the head of the Political Security Branch in Daraa, who appeared before the court. The rulings also included other officials such as Fad Jasim Al-Furaj, Mohammed Ayman Ayash, and others, and these decisions were linked to accusations of committing crimes during the Syrian protests years and prior to them.
