An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Atef Najib (Arabic: عاطف نجيب, born 1964/1965) was a Syrian officer and the political security chief in the city of Daraa, and is a first cousin of President Assad. He is known as being a catalyst for one of the flashpoints that ignited the Syrian civil war, when in 2011 he directed the abduction and torture of 15 boys which had written anti-Assad slogans on a public area in Daraa. His aggressive actions prompted non-violent protests by local inhabitants, and - after fire was opened by security forces at a protest march - the gradual start of armed resistance.
