Syria Marks Death Sentences for Bashar and Allies
A court in Damascus has sentenced Bashar Assad, Atef Najeeb, and several former Syrian regime figures to death for crimes against humanity, including murder, torture, and arbitrary arrests. The verdict stems from the regime leaders' responsibility in suppressing protests and the 2011 Daraya mosque massacre. Celebrations erupted across Syria, especially in Damascus, expressing the victims' families' joy over the ruling, with crowds gathering in front of the Palace of Justice. This marks the first-ever verdict of its kind against Bashar Assad and confirms the judiciary's acknowledgment of the regime's involvement in killings and torture during the Syrian revolution. There are expectations of further trials for other former officials.
