The article discusses the trial of former Syrian regime Mufti Ahmed Badr al-Din Hassoun, which began with charges related to inciting and facilitating violations and crimes during the regime's rule, particularly through his connections with security and military entities loyal to the regime. Testimonies revealed that Hassoun received significant sums of money from leaders of the Jerusalem Brigade militia and individuals linked to the regime. It is said that the funds were delivered monthly to support his activities, in addition to him exploiting his position for personal financial gains. The testimonies also addressed his relations with various factions and militias, as well as his role in supporting the crackdown on protests, including promoting incitement to violence and interference in political affairs. This raises concerns about his involvement in inciting killings, forced displacements, and leveraging religion to endorse regime policies. The trial marks an important step in the pursuit of justice in Syria, as he is being investigated on charges related to abuse of power and pursuit of personal interests, with the court continuing to hear testimonies and examine evidence.
