Despite the continuous demanding to reveal their fate, the Syrian Regime remain reticent about more than thousand detainees of PRS including women and children and the elderly, in addition to entire families, many of which had been tortured to death.
The AGPS has taken on the responsibility of documenting all cases of arrest, the process which encounters huge difficulties either in approaching the cases in the field or in validating them, given that the families of detainees most likely to be scared of talking about their sons to media or human rights institutions and not willing to get exposed to “regime’s revenge” as they say. However, the AGPS through its correspondents’ network and testimonies of recently-released prisoners managed to document 1061 arrestees so far, from almost all the Palestinian Camps and compounds in Syria, as follows:
186 from Al-Aydeen Camp of Homs, 141 from Al-Yarmouk Camp, 107 from Khan Eshieh Camp, 86 from Al-Nayrab Camp, 78 from Al-Raml Camp, 53 from Hama Camp, and 410 from the rest of camps.
It is noteworthy that Palestinian arrestees are being subjected to torture and different kinds of violations as 435 PRS were tortured to death, 77 of them were recognized throughout inspecting the photos of torture victims leaked from regime’s prisons in 2015, while other testimonies of recently-released prisoners confirmed that few female prisoners have their infants with them inside the jail.
