Criminal Charges Unsealed Against Two Former High-Ranking Syrian Government Intelligence Officials for War Crimes against Americans and Other Civilians
An indictment was unsealed today in the Northern District of Illinois charging two high-ranking Syrian officials under former President Bashar al-Assad with war crimes. The indictment charges the former Syrian intelligence officials with engaging in a conspiracy to commit cruel and inhuman treatment...
Cool. Now do Netanyahu.
Oh, are we doing Middle East war crimes now?
I have some suggestions.
Huh, so you do care about war crimes against Americans and other civilians. Didnât look that way for the past year.
How exactly does the FBI and the Northern District of Illinois plan to prosecute this case against foreign citizens, presumably in Syria?
For some crimes, the US and some other countries claim universal jurisdiction.
Article was heavy on 'shock value' in description of atrocities, kinda light on other details.
As one not versed in legalese, does 'unsealed' mean 'brought for the first time' or 'revisited'?
