Damascus, May 8 (SANA) Syria’s Justice Ministry said Thursday it would pursue those involved in unrest and vandalism targeting the Justice Palace in Hasakah province, adding that legal measures were being coordinated with relevant authorities to bring those responsible before the judiciary.
In a statement, the ministry said the attacks and acts of vandalism carried out by “saboteurs” threatened public order and social stability and constituted a violation of the rule of law. It added that the incidents would be addressed “firmly and in accordance with applicable legal frameworks.”
The ministry said the Syrian government had continued efforts since the fall of the deposed regime to restore state institutions across different regions, reactivate public services and strengthen the rule of law and judicial institutions.
It added that authorities had intensified efforts in Hasakah province to restore official institutions and integrate them into state structures, noting that the Justice Ministry had worked to maintain judicial and legal services for residents in the province.
The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening justice and the rule of law across the country in a way that supports stability and public confidence in state institutions.
Earlier Thursday, the courthouse in Hasakah was targeted in an attack and acts of vandalism that damaged parts of the building and a Justice Ministry sign installed at the entrance, following an incitement campaign on social media.
A Justice Ministry delegation headed by Syrian Attorney General Hassan al-Turba assumed control of the courthouse in Hasakah and the central prison in the Ghwayran neighborhood on April 19 as part of efforts to establish a legal office affiliated with the Public Prosecution Department to oversee detainees’ affairs.
