The justice system issues a life sentence to a member of the "Al-Quds Brigade" militia for his conviction of war crimes. Details: The competent court issued a sentence of life imprisonment against the accused Abdul-Jabbar Ghazi Arzik, who is associated with the "Liwa al-Quds" militia linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The court convicted the defendant of joining an armed gang whose goal was to incite civil war, sectarian fighting and invade cities, which are actions that are legally included in the war crimes and crimes against humanity systematically committed under the previous regime. The director of the accountability department at the National Transitional Justice Authority, lawyer Radif Mustafa, explained that the verdict was proportional to the seriousness of the acts and their seriousness, and includes the denial of considerations of mitigation and the enjoyment of a general or special amnesty. Mustafa emphasized that the ruling establishes the principle of non-exemption and confirms that serious crimes are not subject to the political statute of limitations, which indicates that the way of accountability is based solely on facts, evidence and judicial procedures to protect the rights of victims. Mustafa noted that the administration continues to monitor the cases of serious violations, and calls on anyone who has evidence or information to submit it through the authority's official channels in order to ensure the disclosure of the truth while providing data protection and confidentiality. The head of the Fourth Criminal Court specializing in transitional justice, Judge Fakhr Al-Din Al-Arian, stated that the court is currently examining about 61 cases related to violations committed by the former regime during the years of the Syrian revolution.
