Rights Group Warns of COVID-19 Propagation in Syrian Prisons

“NoPhotoZone” organization has warned of the dangerous repercussions of COVID-19 outbreak in Syrian jails, saying it has recorded serious infringements by the terrorism court.

The organization said the infringements come at a time when calls have been increasingly launched to urge the Syrian government to release sufficient numbers of detainees to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks leading to yet more loss of life and misery after nine years of unrelenting death, destruction of the health system and displacement.

It added that though the Syrian government is considering issuing a mass amnesty to reduce the number of inmates, there has been increasing suspicions about its intent to release prisoners from Sednaya penal complex.

The organization has called for an immediate visit by the International Red Cross Committee to all detention centers and lock-ups in Syria and for urgently providing prisoners with the necessary checks and hygiene kit.
