301 Palestinian refugees have gone missing since the outburst of the Syrian conflict, among whom 38 female refugees.
Over half of the missing refugees have been identified as residents of Yarmouk Camp in southern Damascus.
Local activists condemned the abrupt abduction sweeps and manhunts launched by the regime forces under the security pretext. They further denounced the blackmail attempts perpetrated by the regime militias in the hunt for money, turning civilians’ freedom into a bargaining chip.
Several other Palestinians have had mysterious fates in Syrian penal complexes, according to affidavits by ex-detainees.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, an ex-captive said he met the Palestinian minor Omar Mohamed Seyam, aged 16, in a government lock-up.
Seyam, a resident of Yarmouk, has gone missing since 21, November 2012 and was later spotted in a Syrian detention center in Damascus.
