Syria sentences Bashar al-Assad to death in absentia over atrocities


A Syrian court sentenced former ruler Bashar al-Assad to death after a trial in absentia, convicting him of atrocities committed during the country's nearly 14-year civil war (OMAR HAJ KADOUR)
A Syrian court on Tuesday sentenced former ruler Bashar al-Assad to death after a trial in absentia, convicting him of atrocities committed during the country's nearly 14-year civil war.

It is the first such ruling under Syria's transitional leaders, who ousted Assad in December 2024, vowing to provide justice and accountability for crimes committed under his rule.

Assad fled to Moscow as Islamist-led forces closed in on Damascus after a lightning offensive.

At a court in Damascus on Tuesday, Judge Fakhr al-Din al-Aryan convicted Assad of crimes including "premeditated murder, the intentional killing of more than one person, the intentional killing of children under 15 years... torture, torture leading to death, and deprivation of liberty on multiple occasions -- classified as crimes against humanity and war crimes".

"He is therefore sentenced to death," the judge said.

You couldn't last one day in Syria unless you were willing to commit atrocities to stay in power. You would be murdered by 3pm on your first day.

How can he afford that when he never worked outside government?

Looks like we aren't the only kleptocracy.

Taken when they were just your average carefree “DINKS”, they also have a palace in Dubai.

Nobody cares, because more than likely a Syrian courts ruling regarding Bashar doesn’t mean crap. This is just song and dance for people that believe this type of thing matters.

Islam is a pedo religion. The victims would get stoned instead.

In this case like big pharma. They were a narco state making counterfeit add meds that people abuse.


When I say we give our children meth it's because we do.
