Lebanon asked to arrest Syrian officials

A Lebanese Prosecutor has requested the French judiciary to arrest three former Syrian officers from the Assad regime: Ali Mamlouk, Jamil Hassan, and Abdul Salam Mahmoud. They are accused of involvement in crimes against humanity and war crimes. The French court issued a worldwide arrest warrant for them in May 2024, and they may be found on Lebanese territory, where Lebanese authorities are verifying their identities and locations. However, no arrests have been announced so far. The case is linked to the detention, torture, and killing of French-Syrian citizens in Damascus in 2013.
