Bashar and Maher Assad Missing from Court Ruling
A Syrian court issued a guilty verdict of death in absentia against the ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his brother Maher al-Assad for committing crimes against humanity and war crimes during the 14-year Syrian conflict, which resulted in the deaths of around half a million people. The sentences also include Atef Noun, a former security official and Assad's cousin, for leading a crackdown that contributed to the start of the civil war. After the collapse of the Syrian government in 2024, Bashar al-Assad and his brother fled to Russia, while Syrian officials demand their extradition. However, Moscow has shown no intention of doing so.
