Syrian Coalition Welcomes Germany’s Issuance of Int’l Arrest Warrant for Assad’s Intelligence Chief

Syrian Coalition Welcomes Germany’s Issuance of Int’l Arrest Warrant for Assad’s Intelligence Chief

German prosecutors have issued an international arrest warrant for the head of the Syrian Airforce Intelligence on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, Der Spiegel magazine reported on Friday, citing German security officials.

Jamil Hassan is one of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s senior lieutenants. Der Spiegel said prosecutors accuse Hassan of overseeing some of the most horrific crimes committed by Assad’s intelligence agencies, including torture, rape and murder of “at least hundreds of people between 2011 and 2013.”

Syrian human rights lawyer based in Germany who works with the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) said the authorities had informed ECCHR of the arrest warrant.

Anwar al-Bunni helped the ECCHR file criminal complaints against Hassan and his forces on behalf of Syrians in Germany.

“This is a victory for justice. It is a victory for the German justice system,” said Anwar al-Bunni. “This is also a victory for Syrians, whose faith in justice will be restored. We can only hope that the next arrest warrant is for al-Assad.”

The warrant would be the first issued anywhere for senior members of Assad’s military and intelligence lieutenants since the rebellion against his rule erupted in spring of 2011.

Der Spiegel said other charges against Hassan include “summary executions of political detainees.”

Germany, Norway and Sweden are the only three European countries with universal jurisdiction over war crimes, meaning they can prosecute and try crimes committed abroad.

Efforts to prosecute members of the Assad regime have repeatedly failed because Syria is not a signatory of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague. Russia and China have also vetoed attempts to give the ICC a mandate to set up a special tribunal for Syria.

The Syrian Coalition said that the German prosecutors’ issuance of an arrest warrant for one of Assad regime’s most brutal figures is an important step towards achieving justice. The step will send a message to criminals that they will be no longer immune from punishment anywhere in the world.

The Coalition called on international organizations to prosecute all perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Syria, chiefly among them is by Bashar al-Assad who is responsible for thousands of crimes against Syrian civilians.

Preserving independence and national sovereignty and maintaining the Syrian people's unity within the same Syrian soil is one of the critical pillars of the Syrian Coalition. The Coalition aims to overthrow the Assad regime along with all its symbols and pillars. It also aims to dismantle its security apparatus and hold accountable those involved in crimes against Syrians. In addition, it seeks to achieve a transition to a pluralistic, democratic and civil Syria.
