Syrian Court Issues Ban on Bashar and Maher al-Assad
The Fourth Criminal Court in Syria clarified that the additional rulings issued in absentia against former President Bashar al-Assad, his brother Maher al-Assad, and other officials have legal implications, as they have been sent to Interpol for necessary action. The court emphasizes that these rulings, which include sentences of death and life imprisonment, are not final, and trial procedures will be resumed once the convicted individuals are apprehended or surrender themselves. It also underscores the importance of protecting witnesses and evidence, depositing the convicted individuals' assets into a special fund to ensure victims' rights, and continuing the path of transitional justice and pursuing those involved in violations.
