The German Federal Court on Tuesday decided to send back a former Syrian intelligence officer in prison after having been acquitted in an earlier appeal, Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA) reported. According to a German media outlet, the court overturned a previous decision to release the man from prison, issued back in May, and reinstated the February arrest warrant. Strong suspicions still surround the defendant, who is facing charges of committing major crimes against humanity. On the other hand, the court amended grounds backing the arrest warrant from only “killing two people,” to also “torturing at least 30 others.” On February 12, the 42-year-old suspect was arrested along with another Syrian man in on suspicion of committing crimes in Syria regime prison wards dedicated for torture. This arrest provoked a stir at the time, as it was the first time German investigators had addressed war crimes in Syria. In parallel, a third Syrian intelligence officer was arrested in France.
