Asylum seeker charged with war crime

Swedish prosecutors say a Syrian man has been charged with war crimes for having taken part in the 2012 execution of seven government troops in Syria.

Investigator Kristina Lindehoff Carleson says the conflict then “was a non-international armed conflict between the Syrian government and a number of armed groups.”

Lindehoff Carleson says the 46-year-old man had joined rebels in Syria and appeared in a May 2012 video where seven “defenseless” soldiers were executed. It was not immediately clear which rebel group he had joined.

She said Thursday the charge “should in no way been seen as an endorsement of the ongoing conflict in Syria.”

The man sought asylum in Sweden in 2013 and has been held in pre-trial custody since March, according to the prosecution.

      He was part of the resistance not the government. It is The government leader that is using his military to slaughter dissenters. I believe that is why Sweden is still holding this person. They need to be sure he is not an ISIS supporter.

    Obama trained the Syrian rebels via CIA and supplied them with weapons to destroy Syria and its leader like he and HILLARY did to Libya and the democrats under George SOROS had the plan for 50 years to destroy Islamic countries so millions of Muslims will enter Europe and America and be destroyed so DEPOPULATION will START islamification and NWO that the elite with George SOROS can choose who survives to serve them and SATANIC George SOROS has been paying BLM and PROTESTERS to destroy Trump who spoilt the plan to kill Americans in FEMA camps. Hillary was supposed to win to finish the destruction and NUKE Russia . The planet was supposed to flattened and Americans slaughtered but the people voted Trump !!!!! Now they are trying to make his life absolute nightmare so he will fail . OBAMA HAS freed so many criminals for a reason and is freeing terrorists too . They should be arrested for treason especially George SOROS and war crimes too
