Syria: Bashar and Maher al-Assad facing execution
The Damascus Criminal Court issued death sentences to former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his brother Maher, along with several security and military officials, for their involvement in killings, torture, and crimes against humanity during the suppression of protests in Daraa. The judge considered Bashar al-Assad to be the supreme decision-maker who directly contributed to implementing these acts, and also charged Atef Najib, head of the Political Security Branch in Daraa, with crimes against humanity, sentencing him to death. The rulings also include several fugitives, among them Maher al-Assad, and were based on investigations and witness testimonies confirming their involvement in the killing and torture of civilians at the onset of the Syrian revolution.
