Assad's cousin faces trial
The first public trial session was held in Damascus for Wassim Badi' Assad, cousin of former Syrian President Bashar Assad, on charges related to forming and managing two militant groups since 2011, providing logistical support and weapons to fighters, as well as accusations of inciting violence, drug trafficking, and exploiting family ties for blackmail. The trial comes as part of the authorities' efforts to hold accountable the figures of the previous regime, and signs of fatigue and exhaustion appeared on the defendant during the session.
