It’s a historical trial. A former Colonel of Syrian intelligence services was sentenced on Thursday, January 13, by the German justice to the life prison for crimes against humanity as part of the first trial of the industries attributed to the regime of Bachar al-Assad .
The Haute Regional Court of Koylence found the Syrian Anwar Raslan, 58 years of age, from the death of prisoners and torture of thousands of others in a secret detention center in Damascus, between 2011 and 2012.

Nearly eleven years after the beginning of the popular uprising in Syria, the audience that ends was the first to examine the crimes attributed to the Syrian regime and many times documented by Syrian activists and NGOs.
