Atef Najib was arrested in the Lataki region, the Assad’s stronghold, where some of the loyalists of the former regime were removed. Assad and his family fled to Russia when the rebels flooded the country last year.
His arrest followed the recent newly elected Temporary Leader of Syria Ahmad Al-Sharaa would “prosecute the criminals who spilled the Syrian blood and the massacre and crimes against us, regardless of whether they were hiding inside the ground or fled abroad .
The najib was sanctioned by the US and the European Union due to its role in violent protest for democratic changes in 2011. years, which turned into a multi-year civil war after the Assad’s troops went to stifle peaceful demonstrations.
Protests against Assad’s regime spread rapidly in the spring of that year, after the group of children were arrested and tortured for graffiti against the regime on the walls in Dera. According to local sources, the children were removed nails.

The children were eventually released, but the army then initiated the attack on Dera, and protests quickly affected the whole Syria.
