Damascus Court Convicts Ex-Mufti Hesson to Life
The Damascus Criminal Court sentenced Ahmed Hassoun to life imprisonment after convicting him of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during the previous regime. His assets were confiscated and frozen, and he was acquitted of other charges. Hassoun received financial support to lead and organize the Jerusalem Brigade and used the official religious institution to justify military operations, especially the use of barrel bombs against civilians, which is considered a violation of international humanitarian law. This trial is part of transitional justice efforts to hold those responsible for the violations committed by the former regime in Syria accountable.
