Syria Takbirs and Celebrations Over Executions
The Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus has issued a death sentence against Bashar al-Assad, his brother Maher, and approximately seven former security officials, due to crimes they committed during the crackdown on protests that began in Daraa in 2011, which resulted in the killing and detention of thousands of civilians. The court confirmed that investigations and testimonies proved the involvement of Najeeb, the former head of the Political Security Branch in Daraa, in crimes against humanity, including the storming of Al-Omari Mosque and the forced disappearance of detainees. The rulings came after a session that lasted since April of the previous year and represent an important step in the path of transitional justice in Syria and in achieving justice for the victims' families. Syrians expressed their joy over the decision across the country, viewing it as a symbol of justice and holding the symbols of the fallen regime accountable.
