France Opens War Crime Trial Against Top Syrian Officials

ai generated text

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.

    1. Witness testimony confirms that Mazzen and Patrick Abdelkader were both taken to a detention centre at Mezzeh Military Airport, which is run by Syrian Air Force Intelligence and notorious for the use of brutal torture.
    2. For the first time, French courts will address the crimes of the Syrian authorities, and will try the most senior members of the authorities to ever be prosecuted since the outbreak of the Syrian revolution in March 2011.
