The Palmyra branch was mentioned in the US sanctions list on 28 July 2021 because of the crimes and violations committed therein, including killing, torturing, burning, and crucifying detainees during the tenure of Brigadier General Malik Ali Habib. The latter gave orders to release certificates stating that prisoners died of natural causes, such as stroke and kidney failure.
