The penalty of dismissal in law means termination of the judge’s service for making legal errors or irregularities in his work, which are part of the anti-corruption strategy in all sectors of the state by implementing the necessary penalties, referring violators to the judiciary, or cutting off their hands.

Earlier this year, President Assad issued decrees implementing the impeachment sentence against two judges for making legal mistakes, in accordance with the laws in force, in the context of prosecuting violators and implementing the necessary penalties against them, in order to ensure and seek justice.
