Justice Ministry approves new cybercrime rules

The Ministry of Justice in Syria has implemented new regulations for dealing with electronic crimes, aimed at protecting citizens' rights and preventing arbitrary detention. It reaffirmed that detention is only permitted for serious crimes, based on a written decision from the Public Prosecution. Additionally, search warrants are issued only after thorough legal review by the relevant prosecutor. Clear criteria have also been established to distinguish between minor crimes, which are handled directly in court, and serious offenses that require specialized investigations and digital evidence collection. These measures are part of a comprehensive review of the legislation to strengthen the rule of law and safeguard freedoms and human rights.
