A Syrian man has been placed in pre-trial detention in Paris on suspicion of complicity in crimes against humanity linked to the regime of Bashar al-Assad, French prosecutors said.
The 34-year-old, who had been living in France for several years, is accused of involvement in abuses committed between March 2011 and December 2015 during the early phase of the Syrian civil war. Allegations include unlawful killings, arbitrary detention, torture, enforced disappearances, and other inhumane acts.
