Pedeapsa cu moartea și detenţie pe viaţă, primele verdicte pronunţate în procesul masacrelor împotriva comunităţii alawite de pe zona de coastă a Siriei

A Syrian military officer was sentenced to 20 years in prison, while two loyalists received death sentences or life imprisonment for their roles in massacres against the Alawite community in 2025. The trial involved 14 defendants, including members of the government forces and loyalists of former President Bashar al-Assad, accused of participating in violent acts that resulted in over 1,400 deaths, primarily among civilians. The court's verdicts are part of ongoing proceedings, with more sentences expected soon. Human rights organizations have reported widespread intercommunal massacres, raising concerns among minority groups in Syria despite assurances of protection from the new Islamist authorities.
