A Stockholm court has acquitted former Syrian Brigadier General Mohammed Hamo of war crimes charges related to his alleged involvement in attacks during Syria's civil war in 2012. The court ruled that prosecutors did not provide sufficient evidence to prove Hamo's involvement in the war crimes. Hamo, a high-ranking military official, was accused of aiding and abetting war crimes during the first half of 2012. This trial marks one of the highest-profile cases against a Syrian military official in Europe.
