Syria's Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus sentenced former President Bashar al-Assad to death in absentia on Tuesday after convicting him of crimes including intentional killings, torture resulting in death and repeated deprivation of liberty, which the court classified as crimes against humanity and war crimes. Assad, who fled to Russia after opposition forces took Damascus in December 2024, was tried alongside several former officials and members of his inner circle, including his brother Maher al-Assad and former defence minister Fahd al-Freij. The verdict marks the most prominent ruling yet in proceedings launched by Syria's post-Assad authorities as part of their transitional justice programme. #basharalassad #assad #syria #damascus #syrianews #syriawar #warcrimes #crimesagainsthumanity #middleeast #syrianconflict #assadverdict #deathsentence #breakingnews #worldnews #geopolitics #timesnowworld Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read
