A Syrian court has issued its first judicial verdicts regarding the massacres of Alawites that occurred on the Syrian coast last year. The rulings handed down on Thursday include a 20-year prison sentence for a former member of government forces.
In addition to the former government forces member, the court delivered severe penalties to supporters of the deposed administration. One supporter of former president Bashar al-Assad received a death sentence, while another was handed a life imprisonment term for their involvement in the coastal massacres.
