Security forces of Syria's new government are searching for Mohammed Kanjou al-Hassan, a former top official tied to atrocities against civilians, indicating a crackdown on remnants of the Assad regime.
The attempt to arrest al-Hassan on Wednesday led to deadly clashes in Tartus, where government forces were ambushed by loyalists of the former regime, resulting in the deaths of fourteen security personnel.
This pursuit underscores the new government's commitment to accountability for past regimes as they navigate complex regional unrest while attempting to restore law and order.
Britain has sanctioned al-Hassan for his significant role in repressing civilians, reflecting international recognition of the need for justice against those linked to the Assad dictatorship.
