Previous regime informer executed Moscow cites humanitarian reasons for accepting Assad
The Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus sentenced Abdel Nasser Baraki to death. He was accused of being involved in serious crimes during the Assad regime, including enforced disappearances, torture resulting in death, premeditated murder, deprivation of liberty, and criminal slander. The court based its legal classification of the acts on international law, considering them crimes against humanity and war crimes. It applied the maximum penalty under Syrian law and ordered the freezing of his assets. The verdict comes as part of transitional justice efforts to hold accountable those who committed crimes against the people—some of the most heinous offenses—alongside ongoing efforts to pursue former regime officers through continuous security operations.
