Tahrir AlSham Commission in the northern Syrian province of Idlib released on April 21 the Palestinian refugee Mohamed Mahmoud Khalil, a resident of Yarmouk Camp, after they kept him captive for three years.
AGPS has documented the secret detention of 1,797 Palestinian refugees in Syria, mostly in state-run penal complexes.
AGPS also documented the death of over 600 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).
