AGPS has confirmed that the Palestinian woman in Syria has been subjected to arrest, abduction, death, disability or even sexual violence, as a result of the conflict in Syria since the outbreak of confrontations there in March 2011, between the sides of the Syrian crisis, in a clear violation of the provisions of heavenly laws and status, which prohibited the killing or harming of the human life in general.
According to AGPS, 464 Palestinian women have died since the beginning of the war in Syria, of which 431 died on the Syrian territory and 33 women died outside Syria. The Action Group notes that Palestinian women have been victims of the siege, bombardments, bombings, assassinations, sniping and clashes.
Regarding the detentions, AGPS asserted that not one of the Palestinian refugee camps hasn’t had women arrested from them, who were stopped at the checkpoints located at the gates and entrances of the camps and cities. According to the Action Group’s statistics, 105 Palestinian women have been detained to this point. 33 women have been released, of which 4 were released after an agreement between the Syrian army and the Free Syrian Army.
The Group added that the Palestinian woman in Syria lost the protection guaranteed by international laws and covenants, during the armed conflicts, by being subjecting to death with all the tools used in fighting, both normal and internationally prohibited weapons such as chemical weapons, in addition to rape, sexual slavery, detention and enforced disappearance, without being able to obtain fair trials guaranteed to those detained by law.
The Group calls for an effective action at all national, regional and international levels, towards ensuring the return of the lost protection and revealing the fate of the detainees, as well as maintaining their dignity and restoring their prestige, according to the social and human status that women hold in society.
The group also demands that war criminals be brought to justice and punishment under the prescribed laws, as stipulated in the Geneva Conventions, in the third common article of the four conventions.
