A Dutch court sentenced Rafik A., also identified as Rafiq al Q., to 26 years in prison after convicting him of torture, rape, and sexual abuse committed as crimes against humanity while serving as an interrogator for pro-Assad forces in 2013 and 2014. The verdict, based on acts against eight victims, follows the December 2024 overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Additional details such as the defendant's age, asylum status, and use of universal jurisdiction remain unverified across sources.
