Damascus sentences Bashar Assad family
The transitional authorities in Syria have issued a death sentence against former President Bashar Assad, his brother Maher, and a number of security and military officials, in the first of its kind judicial rulings since the overthrow of his regime in December 2024. The sentences followed public and open trials, with charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including premeditated murder, torture resulting in death, and forced disappearances, particularly during the events in Daraa. Among those sentenced to death is Atif Naji, a cousin of Bashar Assad, who is currently in detention and was convicted of torture and murder. These rulings are part of transitional justice efforts to hold accountable those involved in the killing and displacement of hundreds of thousands throughout the Syrian conflict years.
