Syrian Air Force Intelligence chief charged with crimes against humanity

Germany is the first Western county to hold a high-ranking Assad regime official accountable for the systematic torture and abuse of Syrian citizens since the outbreak of the civil War. Germany’s chief federal prosecutor, Peter Frank, has filed charges against Jamil Hassan, 65, head of Syria’s feared Air Force Intelligence, with “crimes against humanity” for torturing and murdering hundreds of detainees in several detention centers in Syria between 2011 and 2013. Hassan served the Assad regime from the time of Bashar’s father as a member of the family’s inner circle entrusted with dealing with its enemies.

    No body can argue with such a decision. perfectly correct. That guy has performed atrocities fighting terrorists, in particular. However, the Germans know who in the European countries or among the rich Arab countries who encouraged the terrorists, financed them, provided logistics to them and made them kill hundreds of thousands of Syrians too. Not to mention the wounded or refugees with all the degrading process of creating more human suffering………… Germans know the entities and the particular names too. What do they say about that? is it not Kosher to kill and torture terrorists whereas it is kohser to kill and torture not-terrorists……………… just brain storming and highlighting the hypocrisy of a process that promotes extremists in the world………… one version of that hypocrisy is promoting Hamas for example.

    Anything (and it is a “thing” and not a human) that tortures people and especially civilians, should be caught and prosecuted in public and severely dealt with through international law.

    Next up is Assad, the ultimate responsible for the barrel bombings and poisonous gassing of whole populations. That man and his acolytes hezbo*** and iran should be dealt with collectively. Since the world’s outrage is selective, Israel must face evil down.
