Former Syrian colonel unfit for trial in landmark UK crimes against humanity murder case
A former Syrian air force colonel is unfit for trial in the UK on charges of murder as crimes against humanity for 2011 attacks on civilians. A judge ruled he cannot stand trial due to a progressive neurological condition but will face a trial of facts next year to determine if he committed the alleged acts.
