The National Commission for Transitional Justice in Syria is preparing a case against Fadi Saqr, a former commander of the National Defence Forces (NDF) militia, for his alleged involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Tadamon neighborhood of Damascus. Saqr has been implicated in the mass killing and forced disappearance of civilians during the Syrian civil war. Following the ousting of former President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, the new government faced backlash for collaborating with Saqr on security matters. Zahra al-Barazi, the deputy chair of the commission, stated that they are gathering evidence with the help of victims to build a case against Saqr, who has denied any wrongdoing. The commission, although appointed by the government, operates independently and will submit its findings to the Syrian judiciary, which will decide on further action. The arrest of Amjad Youssef, another key figure in the Tadamon massacres, has intensified calls for accountability and raised hopes among residents for justice. Activists argue that Saqr's prosecution could signify a crucial step towards transitional justice in a country still grappling with the aftermath of a decade-long conflict.
