Damascus repeats vow to punish chemical attack perpetrators
The Syrian Minister of Emergency, Riad Saalh, confirmed that the chemical massacre in Eastern Ghouta in 2013, perpetrated by the former regime using sarin gas, is one of the most heinous violations against the Syrian people and humanity. He pointed out that investigating the crime and holding those responsible accountable remains a top priority. The Syrian Network for Human Rights documented the deaths of 1,144 individuals in the attack, including 99 children and 194 women, and approximately 5,935 others were injured, with survivors continuing to suffer and facing long-lasting destructive effects. Independent evidence and the results of the United Nations report affirm that the attack involves elements of crimes against humanity and war crimes due to the use of chemical weapons. The Syrian government is actively pursuing those involved in these crimes, and a number of officers and officials have been arrested as part of efforts to end the legacy of chemical weapons associated with the previous regime.
