Syria says it has arrested key suspect in 2013 Tadamon massacre case

Syrian authorities said on Friday they have arrested the main suspect in the 2013 Tadamon massacre, in a security operation carried out in the countryside of Hama.

In a statement, the interior ministry said internal security forces captured Amjad Youssef, identified as the primary perpetrator behind the mass killings in the Tadamon neighbourhood of Damascus.

The Tadamon case drew international attention after video footage surfaced documenting the killings during the Syrian war.

On April 27 2022, The Guardian published footage it said had been leaked by a conscript in a pro-government militia, showing members of Military Intelligence Branch 227 executing at least 41 people and burning their bodies.

The video showed an intelligence officer, identified as Youssef, shooting blindfolded and bound detainees.
