German court jails Syrian 'torture' doctor for life | AFP

Syrian doctor Alaa Mousa arrives at a German court in Frankfurt, before being handed a life sentence for crimes against humanity for torturing detainees at military hospitals under former ruler Bashar al-Assad, who was ousted from power in December 2024. Mousa was accused of torturing patients at military hospitals in Damascus and Homs on 18 occasions between 2011 and 2012. In one instance, Mousa was said to have set fire to the genitals of a teenage boy and in another case, to have delivered a lethal injection to a detainee who resisted a beating.
