The answer is D. Bashar al-Assad, as he was responsible for the violent suppression of protests in Syria in 2011, leading to tens of thousands of deaths. His regime faced widespread demonstrations demanding political reform, but violent repression ignited a civil war. The situation reflected the lack of democratic freedoms and sectarian tensions within the country.
