Damascus: Sentences in absentia for Assad and allies over crimes
A Syrian court has sentenced Bashar al-Assad, Maher al-Assad, and Atef Najeeb to death in absentia, after convicting them of murder, torture, and crimes against humanity from the start of the protests in 2011 until the fall of the regime. The ruling comes within the context of charges related to widespread violations and crimes against civilians during their rule, with the roles and responsibilities of each individual clearly outlined. The judgment also included other penalties for additional defendants, and this verdict is considered a symbolic step in the realm of international justice concerning human rights violations in Syria.
