A Syrian court sentenced ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad along with his younger brother to death in absentia on Tuesday 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.
“Bashar Assad used state agencies to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity,” said judge Fakhareddine al-Aryan during a court session that was aired live on state TV.
We haven’t imprisoned any war criminals though.
A couple people like Roger Stone and Steve Bannon, sure, but they didn’t have significant sentences to pardon in the first place.
I think they’re talking about the 1500 fascist terrorists that were pardoned back into society by felon rapist traitor Donald Trump after violently attempting to end our democracy on Jan 6, 2021.
True, but I was thinking all the J6ers that were released and are working for the government. We haven’t jailed anyone like Trump because the US sucks.
