Syrian court sentences Atef Najeeb to death
The Syrian judiciary has sentenced former security official Atef Najeeb to death on charges of committing crimes against humanity during his tenure leading the Political Security Branch in Daraa. These crimes include intentional murder and torture resulting in death. Najeeb, a former colonel and cousin of former President Bashar al-Assad, is among those listed as responsible for repressing the protests that began in March 2011. The verdict comes after his conviction for crimes including the killing of children under 15 and acts of torture against humanity, with the death sentence confirmed. This move reflects efforts to deliver justice and hold accountable those responsible for human rights violations during the Syrian conflict.
