AGPS has called on the Syrian regime to disclose the fate of hundreds of Palestinian detainees who have gone missing so far.
AGPS documented the incarceration of 1,611 Palestinians in Syrian penal complexes since the outburst of the deadly warfare in 2011. AGPS estimates the real number to be far higher due to the gag orders slapped by the Syrian government on the detainees’ names and fates, along with the families’ reluctance to report such cases for fear of retaliation.
AGPS kept record of several cases where Palestinians have been kidnapped at government checkpoints or during assaults carried out by the regime troops on Palestinian shelters. In most such cases, the detainees’ families receive their relatives’ bodies from a military or government hospital while wrapped up in a plastic bag or in a blood-tainted piece of cloth.
