Syria: Sentences for Assad and allies
The Damascus Criminal Court sentenced Bashar al-Assad, his brother Maher al-Assad, and Atef Najeeb, the former head of the Political Security Branch in Daraa, to death after convicting them of intentional murder and torture. The court classified these crimes as human rights violations, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The verdict was issued in absentia and includes international efforts to pursue the fleeing accused, as some of the crimes—such as the torture of children in 2011—were linked to the lead-up to the Syrian revolution. This ruling comes in the context of holding former officials accountable after the fall of the Assad regime and the commencement of investigations into past abuses.
