Years after initial human rights violations in 2013 and 2017 respectively, lawyers from four non-governmental organizations are filing a criminal complaint to the Swedish police regarding the chemical weapons attacks on Syrian civilians. The Syrian Centre for Media and Freedom of Expression (SCM), Civil Rights Defenders, Syrian Archive (SA), and the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) are specifically pointing towards the use of sarin gas in Ghouta in 2013 and Khan Sheikhoun in the Idlib province in 2017. The accusation comes while similar complaints arise in both France and Germany. “Swedish authorities can join their counterparts in France and Germany to…demonstrate that there will be no impunity for the perpetrators of these crimes,” said Steve Kostas, a lawyer for the Justice Initiative. The Syrian government, however, denies ever using chemical weapons against its own civilians. “Sweden can and should contribute to putting an end to the current state of impunity in Syria,” Hadi al-Khatib, founder and director of the Syrian Archive, said in a statement according to Al Jazeera. He continues, “by filing the complaint, we want to support the victims’ struggle for truth and justice.”
