LOS ANGELES, California — A former Syrian government official has been charged with torture and visa fraud by a federal grand jury, according to a press release from the United States Department of Justice. The indictment against 72-year-old Samir Ousman Alsheikh, of Lexington, South Carolina, includes three counts of torture and one count of conspiracy to commit torture. Alsheikh, who served as the head of Damascus Central Prison from 2005 to 2008, allegedly ordered and participated in the torture of political prisoners, stated the press release. The indictment claims that prisoners were subjected to severe physical and mental pain, including being beaten while suspended from the ceiling and tortured using a device known as the "Flying Carpet." United States Attorney Martin Estrada commented on the indictment, stating, "The allegations in this superseding indictment of grave human rights abuses are chilling. Our country will not be a safe harbor for those accused of committing atrocities abroad." Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri added, "Samir Alsheikh is charged with torturing political dissidents and other prisoners to deter opposition to the regime of then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Alsheikh later allegedly lied about his crimes to obtain a U.S. green card." Alsheikh, who immigrated to the United States in 2020 and applied for U.S. citizenship in 2023, held various positions in the Syrian police and state security apparatus and was associated with the Syrian Ba’ath Party. He was appointed governor of Deir Ez-Zour province in 2011 by then-President Bashar al-Assad. Special Agent in Charge Eddy Wang of the HSI Los Angeles Field Office stated, "Almost 20 years ago, the defendant was accused of torturing prisoners in Syria, and today, we are one step closer to holding him accountable for those heinous crimes." Assistant Director Chad Yarbrough of the FBI Criminal Investigative Division emphasized the FBI's commitment to uncovering the truth, stating, "The allegations in this superseding indictment reveal unconscionable crimes and a clear violation of human rights." An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. If convicted, Alsheikh faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.As Bayern Munich continues its quest for success in the football season, fans received some exciting news with the return of forward Mathis Théo to team training.
