Fadel Abdel Ghany, head of the Syrian Network for Human Rights, described the trials as a critical test of whether Syria’s new authorities can deliver accountability through the rule of law rather than revenge.
“These trials matter because they will help define the legal meaning of Syria’s post-Assad transition. Their function is not merely punitive; they can establish a credible record, individualise responsibility, distinguish criminal perpetrators from broader communities, acknowledge victims, and demonstrate that the new political order is governed by the rule of law rather than revenge,” he told The New Arab.
