A Syrian court has sentenced former President Bashar al-Assad to death for crimes against humanity. The ruling was delivered in absentia, more than a year and a half after Assad was ousted from power and fled the country to seek refuge in Russia.
The sentencing marks a significant legal development following the collapse of Assad's administration. The court's decision concludes a period of judicial proceedings against the former leader, who remains outside of Syrian jurisdiction.
