Top military judge Mohammad Kanju al-Hassan, who sentenced thousands of people to death in the infamous Sednaya prison during Bashar al-Assad’s presidency in Syria, has been arrested. Kanju Hassan’s arrest is the highest level arrest after the recent uprising in Syria. Kanju al-Hassan was the judge of Syria’s military court from 2011 to 2014. During this time he sentenced thousands of people to death. Kanju Hassan is accused of extorting Rs 1500 crore from the relatives of prisoners in different ways. According to Britain’s Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Kanju Hassan was arrested on Thursday along with 20 others. Syria’s interim Home Minister Mohammad Abdel Rahman said that 14 government soldiers were killed while arresting Kanju al-Hassan who was hiding in Tatoos province. The British government banned Kanju al-Hassan in 2023 due to the repression of civilians in Syria. Kanju was responsible for inhumane crimes in Sednaya prison. Hearing in 30 minutes, prisoner not even got a chance to speak
Judge Kanju Hasan has serious allegations of human rights violations. After studying law, he served in the military court of the Syrian army. In 2011, when the Arab revolution took place in Syria against Assad, Hasan was a judge in the Regional Army Court of Damascus. According to a witness, Hasan, in connivance with intelligence agencies, got other people to give false testimony against political prisoners. The hearing in the court lasts only 30 minutes, in which the accused is not allowed to speak. He did not allow release even after the President’s pardon
Kanju Hasan is accused of changing the charges against the prisoners after the President’s pardon, so that they could not be released. After this, he used to extort money from their families to release them. Let us tell you that after Assad fled, many other people close to him were left behind. Among them was Assad’s brother Maher al-Assad. —————————————– Read this news too… Cutting off hands and legs, grinding with a pressure machine; melting dead bodies: Such was Assad’s ‘slaughterhouse’ prison Sednaya, 30,000 prisoners died.
