The leader of Jaysh al-Islam, Issam al-Boyadani, the leader of Hayet Tahrir al-Sham, Abo Mohammad al-Jolani, and the leader of al-Rahman Brigade, Abdulnaser al-Shemir, were among the factions leaders who received those sentences in absentia.
The court said the sentences were passed the factions leaders, following a suit was failed against them by people who said that they lost by their acts, and the sentences were also based on the Public Right.
Forty defendants, most of them were from the eastern Ghouta, were sentenced to death in absentia on charges of shelling civilian neighbourhoods in Damascus and killing civilians.
They were also charged with having explosives to cast terror and commit crimes against what was called the state, "the regime".
It is worthy to remind that thousands of Syrians fled their homes in eastern Ghouta to escape a fierce air and ground offensive led by the Assad militiamen and Russian warplanes.
Assad regime killed more than 1500 civilians, after its Russian warplanes targeted civilian neighbourhoods in eastern Ghouta, where chemical weapons were also used against civilians in the last opposition bastion earlier this year to forcibly displace Syrians from their homes.
