Palestinian refugees Ammar and Jihad Mteiji have been secretly held in Syrian regime prisons for nine years running.
Their family continues to appeal for information about their condition and whereabouts.

AGPS has also documented the death of over 600 Palestinian refugees under torture in Syrian government lock-ups, including women, children, and elderly civilians.
