Palestinian doctor Emad AlDeen Sa’id has been forcibly disappeared in Syrian regime prisons for the tenth consecutive year.
Emad, born in 1987, was arrested at his house in AlHusainiya Camp for Palestinian refugees, in Rif Dimashq, in 2012.
AGPS has documented the secret detention of over 2,000 Palestinian refugees in state-run penal complexes across war-torn Syria, among them 110 women and girls.
AGPS also documented the death of over 550 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).
