Justice Ministry Issues New Cybercrime Regulations

The Ministry of Justice issued Circular No. (26) aimed at regulating procedures for handling cybercrime cases, with a focus on protecting citizens' rights and promoting a balance between freedom of expression and combating digital crimes. The guidelines included streamlining the referral of complaints to law enforcement authorities, restricting the detention of complainants, and making preventive detention an exceptional measure. Additionally, specific circumstances for issuing search warrants were defined, and the Ministry was instructed to review existing search orders to ensure their compliance, with the relevant authorities monitoring the implementation of these procedures. The Minister of Justice emphasized that denying crimes committed by the Assad regime contradicts the constitutional declaration, and a new draft law is being prepared to protect the national memory and prevent the recurrence of violations.
