Ex-Assad officer held over protest deaths
Syrian authorities have succeeded in arresting former Major General Muhammad Ali Dergham, a high-ranking officer subject to European sanctions, on charges related to the killing of protesters in 2011 and the events in Hama in 1982. Dergham was responsible for issuing orders to open fire on protesters during demonstrations against Bashar Assad’s rule and oversaw large-scale raid and detention operations. The arrest of Dergham is part of government efforts to achieve transitional justice after years of war, with investigations indicating his involvement in widespread bloody incidents.
