A report issued by AGPS under the title “The Wasted Lives” documented the violations endured by Palestinian women in war-tattered Syria since the outburst of the conflict in March 2011.
According to the report, which was issued on the eve of the International Women’s Day, marked annually on March 8, Palestinian women have been subjected to abrupt searches and exhaustive questionings at military checkpoints.
Up to the moment of writing, AGPS kept account of the arrest of 94 Palestinian women sheltered in refugee camps across the embattled Syrian territories.
33 female detainees were released from Syrian lock-ups, four among whom freed as part of a swap deal struck between the regime army and the Free Syrian Army.
Meanwhile, 61 Palestinian girls and women have had mysterious fates in Syrian penitentiaries.
The report further raised alarm bells over such violations against women as arrest, abduction, execution, body disfigurement, sniper attacks, sexual abuse, enforced deportation, and denial of the right to a fair trial, among other violations that flagrantly breach international laws and treaties.
