Syria: Bashar al-Assad Sentenced in Absence
The Syrian judiciary today sentenced former President Bashar al-Assad to death in absentia, accusing him of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity since the outbreak of the conflict in 2011. This marks the first such ruling of its kind in these types of trials. The session also sentenced former security official Atef Najeeb, a former officer and Assad’s maternal cousin, to death after being convicted of murder, torture, child abuse, and crimes against humanity. This development comes as part of the transitional authorities’ efforts to uncover the truth and hold accountable those involved in violations, amid ongoing battles and military events in Syria. These sentences are seen as strengthening the course of international justice in the country.
