Idlib residents warned of intervention

A court in Damascus sentenced former regime Mufti Ahmed Badr El-Din Hassoun to life imprisonment on charges of inciting violence and committing crimes against humanity. The sentence followed his statements that justified military operations and encouraged the storming of opposition-held areas, including his famous remark: "Tell those remaining in Idlib, we are coming to you." The court confirmed that Hassoun exploited his religious position to provide a legitimate cover for military actions and the destruction that affected civilian areas, as well as his financial involvement in supporting groups engaged in fighting. This ruling comes within the context of justice efforts to hold accountable those responsible for violations, as Hassoun was made to bear responsibility after years of issuing threatening rhetoric. This reflects a shift toward confronting the accountability of all those who contributed to creating an environment conducive to violations, and it signals an ongoing judicial process aimed at enforcing the law on all parties involved.
