"Salem Michel Al-Salem, 58, faces multiple charges, including murder as a crime against humanity & torture. The charges relate to his alleged participation in violent crackdowns on anti-government protests in #Damascus in 2011."
"The Al-Salem trial is a landmark moment, but it appears to be an exception, rather than a turning point. A single prosecution for #crimes against #humanity in 25 years reflects the UK’s limited commitment to accountability for mass atrocity crimes. Survivors from #Syria, #Ukraine, #Darfur, #Myanmar & #Palestine have been directly affected by the UK’s inertia."
