Syrian Army Members Face Court over Coastal Events
The Military Criminal Court in Aleppo, Syria, has issued sentences of death and prison for ten defendants, including members of Bashar Al-Assad’s former regime and current personnel from the Ministry of Defense. These rulings are related to the events in the Syrian Coast in March 2025, during which pro-regime groups launched attacks on security and military sites, resulting in the deaths of 238 security and military personnel and 1,426 members of the Alawite community. The sentences include two death penalties, while others received prison sentences of up to 20 years; two individuals were acquitted due to insufficient evidence. These rulings come amid open trials that began in November 2025, as part of investigations into the deadly violations that occurred during the events, prompting human rights demands for accountability and for ensuring that those involved do not escape justice.
