Mufti Convicted, Not Executed

DamascusA court convicted Hassoun of words, not bombs.

The verdict names incitement, leaving the barrel bombs he blessed untried and unpunished.

Syria’s Fourth Criminal Court found the former grand mufti guilty of inciting sectarian violence, the 10th Assad-era official sentenced.

Ordinary courts, not a special tribunal, will try every regime figure still in the country.
