AGPS documented the death of 82 Palestinian refugees as a result of harsh torture in Syrian state prisons.
AGPS estimates the real number to be far higher due to the gag orders slapped by the Syrian government on the detainees’ names and fates, along with the families’ reluctance to report such cases for fear of retaliation.
AGPS kept record of several cases where Palestinians have been kidnapped at government checkpoints or during abduction sweeps carried out by pro-government militias in war-torn Syria. In more than a few cases, the detainees’ families receive their relatives’ bodies from a military or government hospital while being wrapped up in a plastic bag or in a blood-tainted piece of cloth.
