Stockholm District Court in Sweden acquits Brigadier General Mohammed Hamo of war crimes charges in Syria.

The Stockholm District Court in Sweden acquitted Brigadier General Mohammed Hamo, a former Syrian Army general, of charges related to war crimes in Syria. Hamo was accused of providing weapons used in indiscriminate attacks on military and civilian targets in Homs and Hama in 2012 as head of the Ordnance Department of the Syrian Army's 11th Division. The court recognized the Syrian army's warfare included indiscriminate attacks that violated international law but acquitted Hamo due to insufficient evidence.
