Dr. Bassam Youssef Ali was also detained for violating human and medical rights by injecting patients with unknown toxic substances, then trafficking their organs or murdering them. His actions sparked outrage across social media, with several users on X (formerly known as Twitter) condemning the inhumane acts.
Syrian authorities are still investigating additional crimes Ali may have been involved in during his time at Tishreen Military Hospital, under the regime of the ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad, who was recently overthrown by opposition forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Further investigations were launched to properly determine the suspect's charges.
