The conviction puts a member of0:11the extended Assad family under a0:13capital sentence inside Syria itself,0:16not in exile or through remote [music]0:17proceedings, tying the punishment0:19directly to killings and torture.0:22The same verdict drew a clear [music]0:23line. The court found the violent crimes0:25proven and imposed the death penalty,0:27while it found the Captagon trafficking0:29charge not proven for lack of evidence,0:32limiting any broader narcotics narrative0:34[music] around this case. That0:35distinction matters. It separates0:37conduct the court said was established0:39from a major drug allegation it said was0:41not, [music]0:42and it frames the consequence as0:43accountability for lethal violence and0:45torture. [music] To date, this is the0:47only public record of the verdict with0:49no published details on the specific0:51[music] acts, victims, or evidence the0:52court relied on for the murder and0:54torture convictions. What is unresolved0:56now is whether [music] Waseem al-Assad0:58will appeal and on what timeline, what1:00findings and evidence underlie [music]1:01those convictions, and whether this1:03judgment signals further prosecutions of1:05other Assad network figures.1:07Like and follow for more stories that1:09matter.Читати статтюХронологія історіїHeyDexКоротке відео ↗
