The family of Palestinian refugee Tamam Ali Ayoub has appealed for information over the condition and whereabouts of their son who has been forcibly disappeared in war-torn Syria since 2013.
Tamam disappeared in 2013 near AlMajed Mosque. A few years ago, reports emerged on his death under torture in Syrian regime prisons.
AGPS has documented the secret detention of 1,797 Palestinian refugees in state-run penal complexes across war-torn Syria, among them 110 women and girls.
AGPS also documented the death of over 550 Palestinian refugees under torture in Syrian government lock-ups, including women, children, and elderly civilians.
Affidavits by ex-detainees provided evidence on the involvement of Syrian government officers in harsh torture tactics, including electric shocks, heavy beating using whips and iron sticks, and sexual abuse against Palestinian detainees, in a flagrant violation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, commonly known as the United Nations Convention against Torture (UNCAT).
