Syrian court sentences Assad duo to death
The Damascus Criminal Court sentenced former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his brother Maher in absentia to death. Their conviction for crimes of killing, torture, and violations against Syrians—including the killing of children—led to their actions being classified as war crimes and crimes against humanity. The court also sentenced Najeeb Atef, who headed the Political Security Branch in Daraa, to death for his participation in murders and torture during the protests. This is the first death sentence issued against Bashar since he fled with his family and close associates to Moscow after the overthrow of his regime in 2024. The court also decided to pursue both of them internationally.
