> A military criminal court in Aleppo has issued the first verdicts over last year’s mass killings in Syria’s coastal areas. Two supporters of the deposed government received death and life sentences, while a former government forces member was sentenced to 20 years; a fourth defendant was acquitted. More verdicts are expected next week.
