The Action Group for Palestinians in Syria renewed its demand to the Syrian regime to reveal the situation of hundreds of detained Palestinians, whose fates remain unknown, stressing that what is happening inside the Syrian prisons to the Palestinians is "a war crime by all standards."
The Action Group had issued a number of reports, including; Enforced Disappearance 1, Enforced Disappearance 2 and The Massacre of Images, which addressed the Palestinian refugees killed as a result of torture and enforced disappearance, amid the bloody conflict between the Syrian regime and the opposition. The Group confirmed, through the daily monitoring of the situation of Palestinian refugees and documented information, that there are 465 documented, Palestinian victims, including 59 females, whose bodies have been identified through leaked images of the victims of torture in the Syrian regime prisons. 35 women died due to torture, according to the testimonies of the released, and dozens of other Palestinian and Syrian refugees who have died in the Syrian prisons, either as a result of direct liquidation or under torture, after being subjected to cruelty and the most severe forms of torture. There have been direct arrests of people at checkpoints or during military incursions into Syrian towns and villages, or during indiscriminate arrests carried out in a region. After the arrest, it is impossible for anyone to identify the fate of the detainee, and in many cases, the security forces contact the detainees' relatives, to come to receive their bodies from a military or public hospital.
Meanwhile, the Action Group’s Monitoring and Documentation Team confirmed that the Group’s statistics, and in conjunction with Palestinian Prisoners' Day, indicate that there are 1674 Palestinian detainees in the Syrian prisons, documented by the Group, of which 106 are women. The numbers of the detained and victims of torture are expected to be higher than those announced, due to the absence of any official statistics issued by the Syrian regime, in addition to the fear of some relatives of the detained or victims of revealing their cases, dreading the reaction of the security services in Syria.
