Syrian Court Sentences Bashar al-Assad to Death for War Crimes
A Syrian court in Damascus has sentenced former president Bashar al-Assad to death in absentia for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Presiding Judge Fakhr al-Din al-Arian delivered the verdict in a live broadcast, citing Assad's role in directing state institutions to commit atrocities, including the killing, torture, and unlawful detention of civilians and children.
The court also handed down death sentences to Assad's brother, Maher al-Assad, and former intelligence officer Atef Najib. Assad fled to Russia following the fall of his regime in December 2024. While Syria's interim government has repeatedly demanded his extradition, Russia has refused to hand him over, making this ruling a historic yet largely symbolic legal milestone.
