Syrian court sentences Assad, ex-security chiefs to death
The Syrian court sentenced former President Bashar al-Assad, his brother Maher, and several senior officials of his regime to death on charges related to war crimes and crimes against humanity, including intentional homicide, premeditated murder of multiple individuals, and the use of torture. This is the first such ruling since the transitional authorities took power in Damascus after ousting the previous regime. These verdicts come amid open and virtual trials that began in April to hold former officials accountable for violations committed since the start of protests in 2011, which continued through the conflict that resulted in the deaths of more than half a million people.
