Over 1,500 Palestinians refugees, including children, women, and elderly civilians, are incarcerated in the Syrian regime lock-ups. AGPS kept record of hundreds of cases of Palestinian refugees tortured to death behind prison bars. The Syrian security devices remain, however, reticent over the fate of hundreds of other refugees.
Palestinian refugee minor Mustafa Ali Ayoub, aged 15 at the time of the abduction, was kidnapped by the Syrian troops from his own family home in Al-Tadhamun neighborhood, adjacent to Yarmouk camp, on October 5, 2012. Six months after Mustafa’s abduction, an ex-detainee said he last saw the child in a Syrian penitentiary. Up to now, Mustafa’s fate remains unknown.
AGPS identified another detainee as Mohamed Mustafa Al-Kilani, born in 1950 and kidnapped by the Syrian army from Mezzeh town, in Damascus, on January 8, 2014.
Ten members of a Palestinian refugee family have also been held in Syrian jails since June 12, 2013. AGPS identified the family members as: Mahira Mahmoud Amayri, Hadeel Mahmoud Amayri, Aseel Mahmoud Amayri, Widad Mahmoud Amayri, Razan Mahmoud Amayri, Suheer Mahmoud Amayri, and Maysaa Jamal Idris, along with Firas Waleed Dasouki and his children Hamza Firas Dasouki and Hala Firas Dasouki, all kidnapped by the Syrian army squads at a checkpoint in Nisreen Street, in the regime-run Al-Tadhamun neighborhood.
Affidavits by ex-detainees also testified to the presence of refugee newborns held in their mothers’ arms inside regime penal complexes.
According to AGPS up-to-date statistics, 1,114 Palestinian refugees are held in Syrian prisons, among whom 77 women with an unknown fate. Psycho-physical torture also took away the lives of 452 other refugees, whose bodies have been withheld by the Syrian security forces up to now.
