لبنان: طلبات تسليم عناصر الأسد لسوريا جاءت من دول غربية
Lebanese Justice Minister Adel Nassar said the Syrian government has not formally requested that Lebanon hand over members of the former regime.
In an interview with Saudi channel Al Arabiya on Saturday, 31 January, Nassar said Western countries had requested the handover of figures from the former Syrian regime.
He added that Beirut hopes Damascus will help address assassinations carried out by the former regime in Lebanon over the past years.
On 29 January, the Syrian Network for Human Rights issued a new report on Lebanon’s legal obligations toward individuals suspected of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Syria, amid a reality in which impunity still dominates the scene.
The report said the fall of the Assad government in December 2024 marked a pivotal turning point that ended decades of repression, but did not deliver justice for victims.
Many former regime leaders fled Syria, particularly to Lebanon, which the report described as a refuge for some of them, including figures under international sanctions or wanted by judicial authorities.
