Palestinian refugee Maher Abdul Fattah Jaber and his four children have been secretly held in Syrian regime prisons for over eight years.
The family was kidnapped by pro-regime militias at Ali AlWahsh checkpoint, south of Damascus, on October 05, 2014.
The list includes Maymounat AlSham, born in 2014, Meriam, born in 2011, Fatema, born in 2007, and Mohamed Anwar, born in 2005. Their mother is called Marwa. Their condition and whereabouts could not be identified.
AGPS has documented the secret detention of nearly 2,000 Palestinian refugees in state-run penal complexes across war-torn Syria, among them 110 women and girls.
AGPS has 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).
