A video presented as that of the hanging of a brother, cousin or son of Bashar al-Assad. – This is a pure and simple montage. A deep fake news.

What social networks are showing
It has already accumulated millions of views. Since Tuesday, this particularly violent video, claiming to show the execution by hanging of a man presented as a cousin of Bashar al-Assad, has been circulating on social networks. Shared by many X accounts, this video shows a partially undressed man, hoisted by a crane above a cheering crowd.
This summary hanging allegedly took place, according to the comments on the video, in the public square of the city of Latakia, one of the fourteen governorates of Syria. The man hanged in these images is presented by some accounts as being Sulaiman Hilal Assad, the son of Hilal al-Assad, former head of the Latakia paramilitary group and cousin of the former Syrian president. Different sources claim that it is Amar al-Assad, another cousin of the dictator.
This is deep fake news
This video does not actually show any of the family members of the “Butcher of Damascus.” It was the website Misbar, which specializes in combating disinformation in the Middle East, that would be the first to publish a denial. This video, which was first posted on Facebook on December 7, was reportedly filmed, according to legend, in Khirbet Ghazala, in the Daraa governorate in southeastern Syria.
According to the legend, the images actually show “the execution, by the military factions of the opposition, of Ammar el-Asaad and Diana Buteh.” These two individuals were reportedly convicted of the murder of the latter’s husband, Muhammad Ziad Hajj Ali, and sentenced to death by hanging. According to Misbar journalists, everything suggests that the man in the video is actually a namesake of members of the al-Assad family, which may have led to confusion.
Massive disinformation
On the videos broadcast on X and Facebook, we can also see what appears to be the portrait of a man, presented by Misbar as being precisely Muhammad Ziad Hajj Ali. Signs that would confirm the execution of his alleged assassins and not that of a member of the deposed presidential family. Our dossier on the rise and fall of Bashar al-Assad

If Bashar al-Assad and his “inner circle”, namely his wife Asma and his three children (Zein, Karim and Hafez) have indeed obtained asylum in Moscow according to a confirmation from the Kremlin, the fate of the rest of his clan remains pending. This is particularly the case of his brother Maher al-Assad, who has not been found to this day. The one who was particularly useful to his brother during the repression of the Syrian revolt in his role as general of the two most powerful units of the Syrian army had under his palace a large network of tunnels, which could have been used for his escape.

Since last weekend and the entry of Islamist rebels into Damascus, social networks have been full of hijacked videos or images generated by AI. This is particularly the case with the many rumors that have circulated about the Sednaya prison, deciphered here by the Fake Off service of 20 Minutes. But also videos of tearful mothers finding children imprisoned decades earlier by Bashar al-Assad, also false, as the Misbar site points out again. A massive disinformation that began at the beginning of the Syrian civil crisis and which still today bears its share of responsibility for the outcome of the conflict according to several NGOs.
