Suspect in Syria killings faces German war crimes charges
|
From two days ago, but does not seem to be the same person as this report from two days ago, but may be this unnamed man whose arrest was reported in our archives last August.
The stateless man, identified only as Moafak D. in line with German privacy rules, was a member of the Free Paleostine Movement,
...Palestinian Syrian armed movement and community organization headed by businessman Yasser Qashlaq that supports the Ba'athist government of Syria.The organization opposes the existence of Israel, and was mostly known for political activism and social services in favor of Palestinians in Syria and the Gaza Strip... one of the groups that at the time controlled the Yarmouk district of the Syrian capital on behalf of Syrian  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Despoiler of Deraa...
's government, federal prosecutors said in a statement.
They said that, on March 23, 2014, the suspect launched a grenade from an anti-tank weapon into a crowd in the district's Rejeh Square who were waiting for food aid from UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Paleostinian refugees. At least seven people were killed and three maimed, including a 6-year-old child.
The Yarmouk district, which grew out of a Paleostinian refugee camp, was cordoned off by the Syrian government from July 2013 to April 2015, causing shortages of food, water and medical supplies.
The suspect was arrested in Berlin on Aug. 4. Prosecutors didn't say how or when he came to Germany. He has been charged at a regional court in the German capital with war crimes, seven counts of murder, three of attempted murder and three of bodily harm.
Germany's application of the rule of "universal jurisdiction," allowing the prosecution of serious crimes committed abroad, led in January to the first conviction of a senior Syrian official for crimes against humanity.
The Berlin court will now have to decide whether to bring Moafak D.'s case to trial.
