> A Syrian military criminal court has convicted and sentenced three men over their roles in the mass killings along Syria’s coast in March 2025, presenting the new government’s first major test in holding perpetrators accountable. Two were affiliated with Bashar al-Assad’s former regime, while the third was linked to government forces. A fourth defendant was acquitted for lack of evidence; one former regime loyalist received life imprisonment for looting and involvement in the violence.
