The United States imposed sanctions on Amjad Yousef, the military intelligence officer of the Assad regime, who executed 41 civilians in Syria 10 years later. Reminding that the civil war in Syria has entered its 12th year, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a written statement that Yousef and his wife Anan Wasouf, who executed 41 unarmed civilians on April 16, 2013, in the Tadamon District of Damascus, Syria, and their close family. announced that its members were banned from entering the United States.
“THESE MURDERES…”
“Video evidence of these cold-blooded and methodical murders was made public for the first time in 2022, after a long and thorough investigation by independent investigators,” Blinken said.
Stating that the US is commemorating the victims of the Tadamon Massacre, Blinken said, “The footage of this massacre, combined with the killing and harassment of countless Syrians, serves as a depressing reminder why countries should not normalize their relations with the Assad regime without making progress towards a political solution.”
Emphasizing that they continue to support all international efforts to hold accountable for the ongoing human rights violations in Syria, Blinken said, “Our support for the brave Syrians who continue to risk their lives to hold the Assad regime to account will not be shaken. We will take every precaution to ensure justice for the victims and hold those responsible, including the Assad regime, to account. “Accountability and justice for crimes, violations and abuses committed against Syrians are essential for a stable, just and lasting peace in Syria and the region.” (UAV)
