Death sentence for Bashar Assad's family
The Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus sentenced Bashar al-Assad, the President of Syria, and his brother Maher al-Assad, along with Aftaf Najeeb and several other officials, to death in absentia on charges related to crimes against humanity. These include intentional killing, torture, and inciting war crimes during the Syrian conflict. The court confirmed that the acts attributed to the defendants—particularly Aftaf Najeeb—include leading harsh security campaigns and committing brutal acts of torture resulting in death, as well as utilizing state machinery to carry out these crimes. These rulings are part of a series of mass trials that began last April, which have garnered international attention from human rights organizations and victims' families. This marks the first death sentence issued against Bashar al-Assad in the context of international efforts to hold accountable those responsible for violations committed during the Syrian war.
