Action Group \u2013 Damascus<\/p>\n
The British newspaper The Guardian quoted statements attributed to Fadi Saqr, a former commander in the National Defense Forces in Damascus, in which he denied prior knowledge of the massacre in the Tadamon neighborhood of the Syrian capital, asserting that he first learned of the details through the media.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Saqr explained that he assumed command of the National Defense Forces in Damascus in June 2013, approximately two months after videos documenting summary executions of civilians surfaced, in connection with the case involving a man known as Amjad Youssef.<\/p>\n
Saqr, as reported by the newspaper, emphasized that anyone found responsible for crimes against humanity must be held legally accountable, stressing his rejection of impunity. He also indicated that his previous silence was motivated by a desire to avoid influencing the course of the investigations.<\/p>\n
These statements come amidst escalating discussions about transitional justice mechanisms in Syria, coinciding with human rights and international demands for accountability for those involved in the grave violations that have occurred in the country in recent years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
