		</div><p>A group of lawyers are seeking to launch a criminal case in Germany against Syrian President Bashar Assad over alleged war crimes committed in the city of Aleppo.</p>
<p>The lawyers presented a criminal complaint against Mr Assad, which they are submitting to German federal prosecutors.</p>
<p>German law allows prosecutions under the principle of universal jurisdiction, under which countries can pursue foreigners for crimes committed abroad.</p>
<p>The lawyers cited Amnesty International reports and individual accounts by asylum-seekers in Germany in arguing that there is overwhelming evidence of multiple atrocities committed by Mr Assad in Aleppo between April and November.</p>
<p>Lawyer Mehmet Daimaguler said: <i>&#8220;We’re experiencing genocide in Aleppo in slow motion.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>He cited the targeted bombing of hospitals, cluster bombs on civilians and forced expulsion.</p>
