The Counter-Terrorism Branch in Damascus Governorate carried out a meticulous operation, following close field monitoring and continuous surveillance, which resulted in the arrest of Major General Akram Salloum al-Abdullah, who held several positions, most notably as Commander of the Military Police between 2014 and 2015, during the rule of the former regime.
Al-Abdullah's arrest comes after a document published by Zaman al-Wasl, found in Syria's notorious Sednaya Military Prison, revealed an official request from him, addressed to the highest military levels, requesting the preparation of a room to "preserve corpses" that could accommodate at least 50 bodies.
The shocking justification for this request, as stated in the document, dated April 2014, was the need to "preserve the bodies of detainees who die in prison," citing logistical difficulties in transporting the bodies to hospital morgues.
The document, presented in the form of a "presentation memorandum," was issued by Major General Akram Salloum al-Abdullah, a paratrooper pilot, to the Chief of Staff of the Army and Armed Forces, General Ali Abdullah Ayoub, who signed it with approval.
The criminal is implicated in committing serious violations against detainees in Sednaya Prison. Initial investigations have shown that he was directly responsible for carrying out the liquidation of detainees inside Sednaya Military Prison (the First Military Prison) during his tenure as Commander of the Military Police.
The Major General was referred to the competent authorities for further investigation, pending his referral to the competent judiciary to take the necessary legal action against him.
