Over recent years, AGPS has submitted at least 20 documents at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) about the dire situation of Palestinian refugees in war-torn Syria, including those who have been subjected to enforced disappearance in prison.
The Syrian regime should live up to its promises recently made in the amnesty issued by the country’s president Bashar AlAsad to people convicted on terrorism charges before 30 April 2022. The amnesty excludes acts that have led to killings or kidnappings, and those against whom there are civil personal claims.
Only 14 Palestinian refugees, including four women, have been released from the time the pardon has entered into force.
Thousands of Palestinians and Syrians have been jailed on terror charges for peaceful opposition to Assad’s government since the 2011 Arab Spring protests and subsequent war.
Thousands of Syrians were discovered killed under torture when a defector leaked nearly 50,000 photographs in 2014, showing the bodies of some 7,000 detainees mutilated by torture.
Over 1,900 Palestinian refugees are believed to be languishing in Syria’s prisons, many of them have spent nearly a decade in prison while scores of others died under torture behind prison bars.
