Syrian commission prepares war crimes case against notorious Assad official

The preparation of this war crimes case against Fadi Saqr reflects a growing momentum within the Syrian rights advocacy community to hold accountable those responsible for atrocities during the civil war. As international attention increasingly focuses on accountability for war crimes, this case could serve as a pivotal moment in the pursuit of justice for Syrian victims. However, the practical challenges of prosecuting such cases, especially against high-ranking officials in a regime still in power, remain significant.
