France Opens War Crime Trial Against Top Syrian Officials

The first trial in France of officials from Bashar al-Assad's regime is set to begin on May 21 at the Paris Criminal Court. Three officials will be tried for their role in the deaths of two French-Syrian men, Mazzen Dabbagh and his son Patrick, who were arrested in Damascus in 2013. This trial marks a significant milestone as it will be the first time that French courts address the crimes committed by the Syrian authorities.
