Syrian President Shara made his first official visit to Russia. The claim regarding Shara, who met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, has made headlines. It was suggested that Shara would ask Putin for the ousted Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad to be tried for the war crimes he committed.
After the overthrow of the 61-year Ba'ath regime in Syria, a new era has begun. In this new era in Syria, the ousted leader Assad has fled to Russia. The most critical step of the new era in Syria, where Ahmed Shara is the President, is being taken today.
SHARA IN MOSCOW
Syria's President Ahmed Shara is making a visit to Moscow today. Shara arrived in Moscow a few moments ago and met with Putin. Putin is expected to start the conversation, followed by a brief statement from Shara.
HE WILL REQUEST ASSAD'S EXTRADITION
It has been claimed that Shara will demand the extradition of ousted leader Bashar Assad to be tried for war crimes he committed.
It was also stated that during his meetings, Shara would discuss Russia's presence at the Tartus Naval Base and Hmeymim Air Base.
A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST HAS BEEN ISSUED
Last week, Syria issued an absentia arrest warrant for Assad, who has been seeking refuge in Russia since December 2024. Judge Tevfik al-Ali of the 7th Investigation Court stated that the charges against Assad include intentional murder, torture resulting in death, and deprivation of liberty.
Judge El-Ali said, "We issued an arrest warrant based on the lawsuit filed by the relatives of those who lost their lives in Dera on November 23, 2011. The case can be widely disseminated internationally through Interpol and can also be pursued externally. The decision lays the groundwork for the prosecution of those responsible for systematic violations. The legal process will continue until all perpetrators of the regime's crimes are reached."
