Ex-Major General Dorgham detained in Tartus
The Internal Security Forces in Tartus, in cooperation with the Counter-Terrorism Department, managed to arrest former Major General Muhammad Ali Durgham, one of the prominent officers of the former Syrian regime system. Records indicate his progression through sensitive positions, including leading a faction within the Defense Brigades in 1982, commanding the 4th Division between 2009 and 2013, and serving as vice commander of the 5th Division before becoming the commander of the 2nd Corps until 2018. Initial investigations confirmed that he issued orders to open fire on unarmed protesters in Rural Damascus and supervised raids that resulted in widespread arbitrary arrests, which led to his placement on international sanctions lists. The investigations are ongoing to document the facts in preparation for referral to the judiciary for the necessary legal procedures.
