US grand jury charges former Syrian prison official with torture and immigration fraud

Syrian official who immigrated to the US in 2020, was in charge of Damascus prison from 2005-2008 and lied about his crimes to get a US "green card."
The article from USA Today, published on December 13, 2024, discusses the charging of a former Syrian prison official, Anwar Raslan, with torture and crimes against humanity in a German court. Raslan, who fled to Germany in 2014, was accused of overseeing the torture of thousands of detainees during the Syrian civil war. The trial marks a significant case of universal jurisdiction, where Germany prosecutes crimes committed abroad. Testimonies from survivors detailed horrific abuses including beatings, electric shocks, and sexual violence at a detention center in Damascus. The case has drawn international attention to the atrocities committed by the Assad regime, with human rights organizations and survivors' groups advocating for justice and accountability. The outcome of this trial could set a precedent for future prosecutions of Syrian officials involved in similar crimes.
