Syria Officer Detained Over Protest Killings
A high-ranking officer from the Assad regime has been detained. He is involved in the killing of protesters during the 2011 protests and the Hama massacre of 1982. Syrian authorities announced that investigations revealed that Drougram issued orders to open fire on protesters in the Rif Dimashq area and participated in raid operations that led to widespread arrests. Records show that he has held sensitive positions since 1982, including leading forces responsible for large-scale massacres, among them the Hama massacre in which approximately 40,000 people were killed. His detention comes after a series of prosecutions that began following the fall of Bashar Assad’s regime in 2024, targeting former officials and military personnel involved in violations during the years of the revolution.
