A number of conscripts held captive by the Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) were freed after Syrian President Bashar Assad issued a decree Sunday granting amnesty and reducing sentences for several categories of crime committed before May 2.
Eye-witnesses told AGPS that a number of Palestinian detainees were seen outside of the PLA’s Central Prison in Jaramana, in Rif Dimashq.
The Presidential Amnesty did not, however, include thousands of Palestinian and Syrian prisoners held on security/political grounds and in such notorious lock-ups as Sednaya.
Lists of hundreds of forcibly disappeared Palestinian refugees and victims in Syria are available on AGPS website, both in English and Arabic. AGPS supplies a database of their names and possible times and places of arrest.
AGPS has documented the secret detention of over 1,790 Palestinian refugees, including women and minors, in Syrian government lock-ups.
