Anwar Raslan was on trial by a German court in Koblenz where he was accused of murder, torture, rape and sexual assault, and hostage-taking.

The 58-year-old had reportedly overseen torture, rape and sexual assault, and hostage-taking. He did not just witness these incidents but was also a part of a lot of these during his time of serving as an officer.

Not only this but he was also under scanner for rounding up peaceful antigovernmental protests and taking these protesters to detention center for the purpose of horrific torture. This is the first time that a court, which is outside Syria, took a stand and ruled on a case involving state-sponsored torture on civilians. “It is a landmark leap forward in the pursuit of truth, justice and reparations for the serious human rights violations perpetrated in Syria over more than a decade,” she added.
