Anwar Raslan is the person who is being talked about here and he was the one who fled Syria after international pressure started mounting on him for practicing crime against humanity.

Many experts feel that if a starting stance is taken against the human rights violator then it could lead people to stop such extreme punishments and also discourage other defectors from so openly to the authorities.

He is currently charged with crimes against humanity, rape, aggravated sexual assault and murder.

He has reportedly overseen the torture of at least 4,000 people while serving as commanding officer in a prison called “al-Khatib”. This happened in the period between  29 April 2011 and 7 September 2012. The verdict is yet to come and if it is against the former officer then he could face a life sentence on Thursday. But the extreme verdict will only come if he is proved to be the main perpetrator and not merely an aid to these crimes. He then will have to serve the sentence till 15 years with no chance of an early release.
