How did the actions of the Shabiha militia, specifically within the Al-Tadamon district, contribute to the broader context of the Syrian Civil War, and what were the systemic consequences?

The NDF, collaborating with a branch of military intelligence, violently suppressed opposition efforts in the Al-Tadamon district, a frontline area during the Syrian Civil War. The court described the NDF's actions there as a reign of terror, citing evidence of arbitrary civilian arrests at checkpoints, forced labor under life-threatening conditions, and widespread abuse. This demonstrates the systematic nature of violence and human rights abuses perpetrated by the Assad regime.
