Former Assad official detained in Deir Ezzor
Ahmed Khalif Al-Ahmad, known as "Al-Ateesh," has been detained. He is a former official in the State Security branch in Deir ez-Zor. The investigations link him to operations involving persecution and arrests, which sometimes resulted in the killing of detainees inside the Syrian regime's prisons. Al-Ahmad held that position for 20 years and played a key role in managing the State Security branch in Deir ez-Zor. He was considered one of the closest confidants of the previous branch chief. The investigations indicate his involvement in overseeing security operations and preparing reports that led to the detention of citizens, some of whom were later executed. The investigations are ongoing to bring him to justice. His detention is part of a series of measures against former officials of the regime’s security agencies in Deir ez-Zor, within the framework of the transitional justice process adopted by the Syrian government.
