The ruling was described as “historic” by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.&nbsp;What happened: The officer, ex-colonel Anwar Raslan, was found guilty on 27 out of 58 counts of murder, rape, and sexual assault committed at a prison run by a unit of President Assad’s security services. Prosecutors alleged that Raslan supervised the “systematic and brutal torture” of more than 4,000 prisoners between April 2011 and September 2012.
