Damascus court sentences Assad and aides to death
The Damascus Criminal Court issued a death sentence in absentia against former Syrian President Bashar Assad and his brother, Maher Assad. Additionally, Atef Najib, head of the Political Security Branch in Daraa, was also sentenced for crimes related to killing and torture. The court convicted the three of premeditated murder and torture, affirming their responsibility for torturing detainees and causing the death of some, actions that amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes. The court also ordered the international pursuit of the convicted fugitives outside the country by disseminating arrest warrants against them to complete legal procedures. These rulings are part of Syria's transitional justice process aimed at investigating past human rights violations.
