A Syrian court has sentenced ousted Syrian president Bashar Assad along with his younger brother to death in absentia for crimes against humanity and war crimes during Syria’s 14-year conflict that left about half a million people dead.
The sentences at the Fourth Criminal Court in Damascus are the first against Assad or members of his inner circle since the Assad family’s five decades in power came to an end 20 months ago. #syria #basharalassad #dictator #middleeast #russia
