The Western-installed terrorist regime in Syria, whose “President”, a founder of al Qaeda/al Nusra Front in Syria, Abu Mohammad  al-Julani, now named Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, has sentenced Syria’s former Grand Mufti, Dr. Ahmad Badr Al-Din Hassoun, to life imprisonment.

Acclaimed journalist Vanessa Beeley commented on a Telegram post:
