The Federal Public Prosecution in Germany has ordered the arrest of a man in Berlin, who is believed to be a leader in a militia of the former Syrian regime led by ousted President Bashar al -Assad.
The highest claim of prosecution in Germany believes that the man with his 2011 militia attacked his demonstrators in the city of Aleppo in northern Syria, and the public prosecutor accuses the man of crimes against humanity in the form of torture, killing and deprivation of freedom.
According to investigations, the accused and his militia members were suspected of eight different occasions, after Friday prayers, brutally assaulted civilians using metal sticks, iron pipes and similar tools, in an attempt to disperse or prevent demonstrations, and electric shock devices were used.
In one of these cases that occurred in front of a mosque, the militia members caused severe injuries to one of the demonstrators, which led to his death shortly.
The public prosecutor also indicated that the defendants handed over some demonstrators to the police or intelligence services, “where the victims there were also harsh mistreatment and insults.”
Elements of the Federal Criminal Investigation Office arrested the accused in the capital, Berlin, with the support of the city police.
It is scheduled to be transferred on Wednesday to Karlsruh to present it to the investigating judge in the Federal Supreme Court, who was caught in the issue of his reserve imprisonment.
