The Palestinian writer Ali Sa’id Shehabi, aged 62, has been held in Syria government jails for the fourth year running.
Ex-detainees said they had last met Shehabi, an English instructor at a UNRWA school, one year and a half ago. However the Syrian government forces deny reports that Shehabi is being held captive, raising fears that the arrestee has fallen prey to a case of enforced disappearance.
Frequent calls by such International NGOs as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International to unearth Shehabi’s fate have often gone unheeded by the Syrian government.
Prior to his abduction, Shehabi had been taking shelter in Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees. He was kidnapped on December 17, 2012.
AGPS documented the incarceration of 1,167 Palestinian refugees in Syrian regime lock-ups, among whom children, women, academics, university students, and sick civilians.
