New Rulings in Absentia by the Syrian Regime’s Courts Against Individuals Charged With Terrorism, Including 59 Death Sentences

Syrian Regime Courts Issue New in Absentia Sentences for Terrorism, Including 59 Death Penalties

The summary of the judgments we obtained yesterday reveals that Syrian regime courts have issued eighty in absentia sentences, fifty-nine of which are for terrorism charges, resulting in the imposition of the death penalty. Some names on this list overlap with those we previously published on 5 March 2021, but in different cases. All judgments include the seizure of the accused’s assets.
