Syrian gov’t pledges cooperation in European war crime cases
The Syrian government has committed to assisting European nations in investigating war crimes and severe human rights abuses perpetrated during the regime of ousted Bashar al-Assad.
As countries like Sweden begin targeting suspected criminals within their borders, Damascus this week announced plans to release a list of approximately 1,000 individuals wanted for atrocities committed under the former administration.
According to Interior Ministry Spokesperson Noureddine al-Baba, Damascus is ready to assist European investigators by facilitating access to evidence inside Syria
This would include documents, witnesses, crime scenes and other relevant material, he told Sweden’s Sveriges Radio.
