Hussam Luka
Hussam Luka, known as 'The Spider' for his extensive network of informants, was a high-ranking official in the Syrian intelligence services under the regime of Bashar al-Assad. He was notorious for orchestrating torture and mass killings, particularly known for his brutal control over detention centers, including the infamous Sednaya prison. Following the fall of Damascus in December 2024, he fled to Russia, where he has since been located, evading international law due to Russian protection.
