AleppoA court sentenced one defendant to life imprisonment.
It’s the first verdict in Syria’s March 2025 coastal massacres, which killed over 1,400.
Sixteen defendants faced trial, eight for the rebellion and eight, mostly soldiers, for violence against Alawite civilians.
Syria’s inquiry named 298 possible perpetrators; no commanding officer has yet been charged.
