A group of human rights organizations have submitted a criminal complaint in Germany on behalf of chemical attack victims in Syria, asking federal prosecutors to investigate and eventually arrest those responsible for some of the deadliest gas attacks in the country’s civil war.
On Monday, the Syrian Archive, the Open Society Justice Initiative, and the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression submitted to the German federal public prosecutor a dossier of evidence they say confirms the Syrian government’s use of the deadly nerve agent sarin on its own people.
