Syrian court sentences Assad to death
The Damascus Criminal Court sentenced former President Bashar al-Assad to death in absentia, accusing him of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity since the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011. This is the first such verdict issued by the transitional authorities, also implicating other officials such as former security chief Atef Najeeb. Assad fled to Moscow after his overthrow in December 2024.
