Damascus Court sentences Mufti Hassoun to life
The Damascus Criminal Court has sentenced the deposed regime's Grand Mufti, Ahmad Hason, to life imprisonment after convicting him of crimes related to attacks that led to civil war and sectarian violence, as well as providing financial support to militias during military operations. The court confirmed that Hason was used to provide religious legitimacy for military and security operations, including the use of barrel bombs that resulted in the destruction of civilian areas, constituting a violation of international humanitarian law. Hason was also charged with expanding his connections with officials of the deposed regime, inciting officers and soldiers to confront opponents, and calling for the eradication and destruction of areas from which shells are launched, endorsing Russian and Iranian interventions as well as war criminals like Qasem Suleimani. The court ordered the confiscation of his movable and immovable assets for the benefit of the public treasury, following a prior ruling imprisoning him on the case and banning him from travel.
