New Syrian authorities announced the capture of a senior military official believed to have been involved in abuses at the notorious Sednaya prison in the Damascus countryside.
Mohammed Kanjo Hassan, formerly a general in the Syrian army during the Assad era, was apprehended in the village of Khirbet al-Mazah near Tartus.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Mohammed Kanjo Hassan was arrested in the Tartus province, a stronghold of Assad's clan, along with 20 members of his entourage.
The Observatory said that Kanjo Hassam issued thousands of sentences — including death sentences — for people held in Sednaya.
