Court sentences Wissam Al-Assad for murder and crimes
The Damascus court sentenced Wasim Al-Assad, the cousin of former Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, to death after convicting him of forming unlawful armed groups and committing murder, torture, and crimes against humanity during the previous regime's rule. The charges included participating in attacks on civilian areas in Eastern Ghouta and the town of Mleiha, as well as targeting a commercial shop in Jaramana and kidnapping its owner. He was also involved in intentional killings and torture of more than one individual. This ruling is part of a series of trials aiming to hold accountable those responsible for violations and war crimes during the years of conflict, supported by compelling evidence of his involvement. He had previously been subjected to international sanctions due to his activities in drug trafficking.
