Bashar al-Assad sentenced to death by Syrian court FAST-MOVING

Bashar al-Assad death sentence Syrian civil war crimes against humanity Atef Najib

A Syrian court in Damascus has sentenced ousted President Bashar al-Assad to death in absentia. The verdict follows a trial for crimes committed during the nearly 14-year civil war, which resulted in approximately 500,000 deaths.

Assad was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including premeditated murder, torture, and arbitrary arrest. His younger brother, Maher al-Assad, was also sentenced to death in absentia for similar offenses. Both brothers fled to Moscow following the fall of Damascus in December 2024.

Atef Najib, a former brigadier general and Assad's maternal cousin, was sentenced to death after appearing in court in a prisoner's uniform and a cage. Najib, who led the Political Security Branch in Daraa province, was found responsible for the violent crackdown on 2011 protests that helped trigger the uprising and subsequent civil war.
