Palestinian Refugees Tortured to Death by Syrian Regime

Families of Palestinians tortured to death in Syrian government penitentiaries said they have been made to sign fraudulent documents and certificates claiming that their relatives died of heart attacks.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the wife of a Palestinian victim of torture told AGPS: “I have left no stone unturned to find out about my husband’s fate. Following relentless efforts and pressure, I was handed over a fraudulent death certificate testifying to the fact that my husband died of a heart attack, which I was compelled to approve and sign. I was also asked not to raise any further questions.”

“However, an ex-detainee told me that he met my husband in government prisons right after the release of the death certificate,” the wife added.

Activists also quoted ex-detainees as stating that they have met Palestinian refugees in Sednaya military lock-up after they were pronounced dead by the prison authorities. 

Horrific photos showing thousands of people who were tortured to death in Syrian government penitentiaries were leaked by a military police photographer, codenamed Caesar.

AGPS documented the secret incarceration of 1,797 Palestinian refugees in Syrian government prisons, including 110 women and girls.
