Court sentences Atef Najeeb and Assads to death
The Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus has issued a death sentence against Atef Naguib, the former head of the Political Security Branch in Daraa, for charges of premeditated murder and torture of Syrians. He is one of the most prominent security figures linked to the early days of the Syrian revolution in 2011, involved in the arrest and torture of children in Daraa. The sentence came after hearing sessions that included testimonies from victims' families and Naguib's own presence. The court also issued death sentences in absentia to senior officials from the previous regime, including Bashar al-Assad, Maher al-Assad, and Fadel Jassem al-Freiha. Naguib's verdict is considered a significant step in the process of prosecuting former regime officials over events related to the Syrian uprising.
