In Syria on Sunday, landmark trials began that are expected to bring members of the Assad regime to justice. While the former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and others are being tried in absentia, Atef Najib, a former security chief - and the cousin of Bashar al-Assad - sat behind bars in the courtroom. The World's Host Marco Werman spoke to Amr Al-Azm, a Syrian historian at Shawnee State University, who joined from Doha.
