Fourth Criminal Court holds 8 sessions to try defendants accused of crimes under the former regime

Damascus, Syria ·

The Fourth Criminal Court, which specialises in transitional justice, held eight public sessions in Damascus on Tuesday. They included trials of new defendants, continuation of earlier hearings, and sessions to issue in-absentia verdicts against fugitive defendants.

Syria's transitional justice courts were set up after the end of Bashar al-Assad's rule in December 2024, to hear cases of alleged crimes committed under his former government.
