A Syrian court has sentenced former president Bashar al-Assad to death *in absentia* for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Tuesday ruling also applies to eight other individuals, including Atef Najib, the former security chief of the Daraa province.
In response to the sentence, Human Rights Watch issued a statement advocating for accountability regarding the atrocities committed under al-Assad's regime, while simultaneously objecting to the application of the death penalty.
