Lawyer Radif Mustafa: A life sentence against a member of the Al-Quds Brigade militia confirms that serious crimes are not subject to the political statute of limitations. Details: Lawyer Radif Mustafa, a member of the National Transitional Justice Authority and Director of the Accountability and Responsibility Department, said that the competent court issued a life sentence against the accused Abdul-Jabbar Ghazi Azrik, who is affiliated with the Liwa al-Quds militia linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The court convicted the defendant of joining an armed gang whose purpose was to incite civil war, sectarian fighting and invade cities, which are acts that are legally included under war crimes and crimes against humanity, because they were carried out systematically and on a large scale under the previous regime. The Director of the Accountability Division and a member of the National Transitional Justice Authority, lawyer Radif Mustafa, explained that the court based its ruling on the seriousness of the acts and the attack on citizens and the threat to the peace of society they represent, and sentenced him to life imprisonment without giving him reasons for relief or withholding special benefits. Mustafa emphasized that this ruling proves that serious crimes do not fall under the political statute of limitations or by changing circumstances, and emphasized that the way of accountability and responsibility is based on facts, evidence and judicial procedures to establish the principle of non-exemption and protect the rights of the victims and their families. He noted that the Accountability and Responsibility Department continues to follow cases related to violations and serious crimes and collect information and evidence, and calls on anyone who has information or evidence to submit it through the Commission's official channels, while ensuring the confidentiality of the information and the safety of witnesses and collaborators. Mustafa emphasized that justice is not achieved only by passing judgments, but by continuing to work to uncover the truth, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure the victims' rights to prevent the recurrence of the crimes Syrians suffered during the decades of rule by the previous regime.
