Sweden has put on trial the highest-ranking Syrian military official to date to face a court in Europe. The prosecution accused the former brigadier general of "aiding and abetting" war crimes, APA reports citing Deutsche Welle.

A Stockholm court on Monday began the trial of 65-year-old Mohammed Hamo, accused of supporting disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks.

Hamo had the highest rank of any Syrian military official to go on trial in Europe, although other countries have sought to press charges against more senior soldiers and officials.
