阿萨德时代大穆夫提被判终身监禁

叙利亚大马士革法院周一判处前大穆夫提艾哈迈德·巴德丁·哈桑终身监禁1。哈桑曾在2005年至2021年担任该职位1，因煽动暴力和为谋杀辩护而被定罪1。法院指控他为阿萨德政权使用桶式炸弹轰炸平民区的行为进行辩护1，法官称这违反了国际人道主义法规则1。

这是新政权对阿萨德时代官员进行的最新一系列审判1。阿萨德及其兄弟毛罕默德最近数周也被判处死刑，其中许多为缺席审判1。阿萨德于2024年12月在伊斯兰主义反政府武装的闪电战中被推翻1。叙利亚自2011年爆发反政府抗议以来，经历了近14年的内战，造成约50万人死亡1。

A Damascus court on Monday handed down a life sentence to Ahmed Badreddin Hassoun, the former grand mufti of Syria, after convicting him of inciting violence and defending murders.1 Hassoun, who served as grand mufti from 2005 to 2021, was a staunch supporter of the Assad regime and faced charges for defending the regime's use of barrel bombs against civilian areas, conduct that a judge determined violated international humanitarian law.1

The conviction marks part of a broader series of trials conducted by Syria's new government against officials from the Assad era.1 In recent weeks, Assad and his brother Maher have received death sentences, many rendered in absentia.1 These proceedings follow the Assad regime's collapse in December 2024, when Islamist opposition forces launched a swift military campaign that toppled the government after nearly fourteen years of civil conflict that had begun with anti-government protests in 2011 and resulted in approximately 500,000 deaths.1
