Rrelatives of Palestinian female detainees in the Syrian prisons expressed their displeasure at the international and Palestinian institutions, particularly PLO, due to ignoring detainees' file. The families demanded, through a letter received by AGPS, their daughters to be released, and to stop abusing Palestinian detainees inside prisons. The letter called for the organisations to raise the case at the international platforms, take actions to uncover their fate and get them released.
According to testimonies; female detainees were raped by Syrian officers and soldiers repetitively, tortured using a variety of methods such as electric shocks, and subjected to sexual abuse.
AGPS announced that it documented 75 Palestinian female arrestees out of 1043. All of them considered as enforced disappearance cases, with no information about their fate at all.
It is more likely that the real number of victims is more than the mentioned above, due to difficulties in the process of gathering the information, and the fears of punishments by Assad regime. It is noteworthy that the only statistics of Palestinian detainees is the AGPS one, while there is no official list by PLO.
