Khaberni - The Syrian Counter-Terrorism branch in Aleppo province arrested Abdul Razzaq Barakat, a colonel and former member of the People's Council during the time of the bygone regime.
The Syrian Ministry of Interior reported on its "Telegram" channel that the criminal "Barakat" was involved in suppressing peaceful demonstrations in the city of Homs at the start of the Syrian revolution.
At that time, Barakat held the position of Homs Police Chief, before he was later transferred to the police command of Al-Tabqah city in the countryside of Raqqa governorate. He was subsequently appointed as a member of the People's Council representing the "Progressive National Front".
The detainee was referred to the competent authorities for the completion of necessary legal proceedings against him, in preparation for his presentation to the specialized judiciary. The internal security forces continue to pursue everyone involved in crimes and violations against civilians during the period of the bygone regime.
The operations are based on documented files and strict legal procedures, within the framework of the state institutions' commitment to establishing justice, restoring the rights of the victims, and ensuring that no criminal escapes accountability.
