Three Palestinian brothers have been secretly locked up in Syrian government jails for the 6th year running. Two of them turned themselves in to the Syrian authorities after the pro-government Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)--General Command (GC) pledged to work out their situation.
Samir Barnawi, born in 1975, was arrested on September 20, 2012, after PFLP-GC turned him in to the government forces. He had served as the commander of an opposition squad in AlTadhamun area, adjacent to Yarmouk Camp. Fadi Barnawi, born in 1976, was arrested on the same day. Their brother Shadi, born in 1981, was kidnapped from Yarmouk Camp in October 2012.
Several Palestinian relatives and members of the same family have been enduring mysterious fates in Syrian government dungeons, where others have also been tortured to death. Three brothers from the Hamdan family, taking shelter in Yarmouk Camp, and three sisters from Saad AlDeen family, from AlRaml Camp, were killed under torture in Syrian state prisons.
AGPS documented the imprisonment of 1,709 Palestinian refugees in Syrian government dungeons, where 558 others have also been fatally tortured.
