The sources said that the elders of the criminal “Fahd Al-Marai”, who is a member of the “Sultan Murad Brigade” militia, visited the family of the martyr “Ali Ahmed” and demanded that they drop their personal right, saying, “In all cases, he will be released because he is a child and he has not reached the age of eighteen.” In their effort to pressure them to drop their claim in their personal right.

Continuing: “Consequently, the release of the perpetrator days after the commission of that heinous crime, constitutes a violation and contempt for the law under any pretext or pretext, even though we realize that these mercenary groups and the Turkish occupation government do not give any attention or respect to the laws, even if the perpetrator is as it is alleged that he (a minor) has not completed eighteen years of age.
Adding : “This is because the text of Article 29 / c of the Syrian Juvenile Delinquency Law of 1974 is clear and explicit in this regard, as it stipulates that the felonies of juveniles who have completed fifteen years shall be punished with imprisonment with employment from one to five years, if the crime is the one he committed is considered a felony due for temporary hard labor or temporary detention.
Nassou concluded his speech by saying: “To release him so quickly on the pretext that there is a forfeiture of the personal right in it is another violation of the law, because the forfeiting of the personal right is considered one of the estimated mitigating reasons justified to reduce the penalty in half, and not canceling the sentence altogether, because it is a mitigating excuse and not a substitute excuse for punishment.”
