Sentencing of 'Agha' reveals the scope of the Assad regime's war to silence the media and intimidate opponents

Syria ·

The US Justice Department announced a 42-month prison sentence for Syrian national Ahmad Omar Agha, known as 'Th3Pr0'. One of his cyberattacks caused a fake tweet posted on a global news agency's account to disrupt the US stock market.

Syria was ruled by the Assad family for more than five decades, and a civil war broke out there in 2011 after protests against the government.
