Syrian Assembly Abolishes Terrorism Court
The Syrian People's Assembly has approved the abolition of Law No. 22 of 2012, which established the Terrorism Court, and annulled all legal consequences derived from it. This decision comes as part of efforts to address the impacts of exceptional laws previously enacted by the government to prosecute opponents of the regime, and to align new legislation with principles of transitional justice and the protection of rights. The resolution includes the cancellation of rulings issued by the court, the restitution of confiscated properties, and the exemption of their owners from taxes and fees. Additionally, it involves amendments to two laws related to workers' rights and retirement entitlements following convictions for terrorism-related cases. Furthermore, 67 judges who participated in the court’s activities have been dismissed based on investigations that proved their involvement in practices that increased restrictions on citizens.
