Syrian regime arrests military leader in Latakia
Jalal Kamel Sakr, the former commander of the 18th Infantry Brigade in Bashar al-Assad's regime forces in Latakia Province, has been arrested by internal security forces in cooperation with the Anti-Terrorism Department. Sakr is accused of participating in war crimes and arbitrary detentions of civilians during the Syrian revolution years, as well as involvement in military operations against civilians in Damascus and Eastern Ghouta, and overseeing detention campaigns in Daraa. He previously held high-level military leadership positions before being discharged from service in May 2017. His arrest is part of an security campaign targeting former officials of Assad's regime, seemingly in retaliation for violations committed during the Syrian war.
