Syrian human rights activist Ribal al-Assad tore into Europe for lifting sanctions against the nation’s new “terrorist” regime, which he warned is no better than his first cousin, ousted leader Bashar al-Assad. After days of bloodshed, Syria’s interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, leader of the forces that overthrew Assad, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), on Thursday signed a temporary constitution putting the country under Islamist rule for at least five years.But al-Sharaa’s government has gone on a “revenge killing spree,” going after low-level officers who had been conscripted into Assad’s armed forces, along with Alawite and Christian minorities, among others, according to al-Assad.”They…
