A former Syrian security officer was tried in Austria on charges of mistreating detainees during Bashar Assad's rule, and a Vienna court sentenced him to eight years in prison. However, the defendant left Austria during the appeal process and returned to Syria, despite the court assuring there was no risk of him fleeing and requesting that he not be detained pending the proceedings.
