The current authorities' settlement system raises questions about justice for victims and their families regarding war crimes committed during the Syrian conflict
Local sources have circulated unconfirmed information over the past two days indicating that Fadi Saqr, a former regime militia leader, has begun settling his legal status with the new authorities, in a move that sparks widespread controversy about the fate of transitional justice in Syria.
Leaked documents revealed that the aforementioned individual held a leadership position in the National Defense militia affiliated with the former regime in the southern Damascus sector, where he was directly involved in the horrific massacre committed in Al-Tadamon neighborhood, which claimed the lives of dozens of innocent civilians.
The attached organizational chart shows the chain of military command involved in that massacre, revealing the nature of the former centralized regime that controlled the fate of Syrians through a complex network of security agencies and armed militias.
Informed sources indicated that the Al-Tadamon massacre is considered one of the most heinous crimes committed by the former regime, where mass executions and flagrant human rights violations were documented.
Human rights activists reported that the issue of settling the status of those involved in war crimes raises serious concerns among victims' families and massacre survivors, emphasizing the need for justice and non-impunity.
International law experts affirm that legal status settlement does not mean exemption from criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity, pointing to the need to establish special courts to consider these cases.
