⛔ Details of the arrest of the Terrorism Court judges and the seizure of their assets...


The Public Prosecutor issued a decision to detain a number of dismissed judges pending investigation into bribery and corruption cases. He also issued arrest warrants and seized the assets of others who failed to appear.

Lawyer Basil Saeed Manea stated that information he obtained from reliable sources indicates that the Ministry of Justice had summoned all the judges recently dismissed last week for a review with the aim of obtaining a clearance certificate for each of them, in preparation for settling all their financial dues.

Manea added that during these reviews, approximately 22 judges were informed of the necessity of reporting to the office of the Public Prosecutor, Hassan Al-Turba, the following day.

Indeed, a number of judges complied with the summons and appeared at the Public Prosecutor's Office, where they were questioned on charges of bribery, corruption, and harming public funds. Following the completion of the initial investigations, the Public Prosecutor issued his decision to detain them pending investigation. The list of detained judges includes:
* Military judges:
* Hussein Houmed
* Hassan Al-Jassem
* Firas Deeb
* Civilian judges:
* Ammar Bilal
* Ibrahim Suleiman
* Hassan Deeb
* Saeed Al-Halabi
* Ghazwan Al-Qadri
* Abed Hassan

As for the judges who did not attend the interrogation session, namely: Kholoud Al-Hamawi, Maimoun Ezz Al-Din, Reda Musa, and Zahra Bashmani, sources reported that arrest warrants were issued in absentia against them. A decision was also issued to seize their movable and immovable assets, in addition to issuing search warrants for them to the relevant authorities.

Lawyer Basil Manea confirmed that, as of the time of publication, there are no female judges among the detained, and that all detained male judges are currently being held in the Terrorism Court. He categorically denied rumors circulating on social media about their transfer to Idlib prison or their exposure to any form of ill-treatment, noting that they are allowed to bring food from outside the prison for those who wish to.

Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari has held a press conference in Doha addressing the ongoing Israel-Iran hostilities.

Qatar “strongly condemns” Israel’s attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, he said, calling it “an uncalculated measure that will have very dire repercussions”.

The attack comes at a time when Iran was “progressing in a positive diplomatic course” with Washington, a negotiation many regional countries were engaged in, al-Ansari said.

Qatar remains involved in mediation with the United States and “believes there is an American desire for an agreement”.

“We will continue to work for a ceasefire between the warring parties – Israel and Iran,” he said.

⛔ Syrian doctor Alaa Mousa sentenced to life imprisonment in Germany for crimes against humanity

The Frankfurt Higher Regional Court on Monday sentenced 40-year-old Syrian doctor Alaa Mousa to life imprisonment after convicting him of crimes against humanity, including murder and torture in Syrian military hospitals.

The court found Mousa guilty of murder, 18 counts of torture, and grievous bodily harm, among other crimes. The court found Mousa guilty of "particularly serious guilt," which effectively rules out the possibility of parole after 15 years.

Alaa Mousa's trial began in January 2022 and lasted more than three years. The doctor, who worked in military hospitals in Homs and Damascus during 2011 and 2012, was accused of torturing detainees opposed to the Syrian government. The indictment included brutal acts, including setting fire to the ge****ls of a teenager and another man after pouring alcohol over them, performing surgeries without anesthesia, and killing a prisoner with a lethal injection.

The prosecution presented testimony and evidence proving Moussa's involvement in the systematic torture practiced in Syrian military hospitals against opponents of the Bashar al-Assad regime. Eyewitnesses described how the hospitals were transformed into places of torture rather than providing medical care.

Alaa Moussa, who arrived in Germany in 2015 on a work visa and practiced as an orthopedic surgeon before his arrest in June 2020, denied all charges against him and claimed to be the victim of a conspiracy. However, the court based its verdict on the testimonies of numerous victims and witnesses who identified him.

This trial, conducted under the principle of universal jurisdiction, which allows for the prosecution of serious crimes regardless of where they were committed or the nationality of the perpetrator and victim, is an important step in holding those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Syria accountable.
