In a significant development, authorities in Germany and Sweden have arrested at least seven individuals on suspicion of committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in Syria between 2012 and 2014. These arrests were part of a coordinated operation involving Eurojust, Europol, and multiple European countries.

According to the German federal prosecutor, the arrests in Germany include individuals identified as Jihad A, Mahmoud A, Sameer S, and Wael S, all affiliated with the Free Palestine Movement. They are strongly suspected of killing civilians and participating in torture activities.
