A Syrian court has sentenced two individuals to death for their alleged involvement in violence and killings during unrest that swept parts of the country's coastal region in March 2025.
The convictions relate to a wave of disturbances in which pro-Assad forces were reported to have clashed with opponents and there were subsequent retaliatory attacks. Authorities say the incidents led to fatalities and prompted a security crackdown across affected areas.
Court documents and the precise charges against the two people were not immediately made public, and officials did not provide details about the identities of the convicted or the locations where the incidents occurred. It was also unclear which judicial body issued the sentences and whether they are subject to appeal.
The verdicts come against the backdrop of Syria's prolonged conflict and intermittent local outbreaks of violence since 2011. Episodes of unrest and subsequent prosecutions have repeatedly drawn attention from local communities and rights groups, though reactions to these latest sentences have not been reported.
