A number of activists confirmed through messages that reached the Action Group, that the Syrian regime continues to detain dozens of elderly people from Yarmouk camp, inside one of its security centers in the town of Al Horjelah, imposing house arrest on them. The Syrian regime had arrested about 20 elderly people from Yarmouk camp after re-imposing its control on it on 21-05-2018. The regime moved them to the Biscuit Factory in Palestine Street before transferring them to Al Horjelah Center and placing them under house arrest there, banning them from leaving or entering it.
According to the activists, among the detained in Al Horjelah Center are; “Mr Fawzy Hamid,” “Mr Afif Abu Rashed,” “Abd Al-Rahman Mdardas” and his son Mohammed, “Abd Al-Razak Al-Saady,” “Mohanad Abbas,” “Tohan Qabsy,” “Hassaan Al-Wahsh,” an old man from “Al-Kordy” family, “Om Mohanad Al-Ashkar,” “Abu Al-Abd Salman,” “Amer Kassab,” “Fahd Al-Ashqar” and “Raaefa Al-Sheikh.”
The activists appealed to the concerned parties to work to end their detention and transfer them to medical centers to take care of them and to provide them with medicine and appropriate treatment, as they suffered inside the camp for many years, with their suffering and medical conditions aggravating following their detention.
All the detainees are residents of Yarmouk camp who refused to leave it and insisted on staying there despite the siege, hunger and shelling. They also have a humanitarian and social role in the camp, as well as an initiative to neutralize the camp and the return of its inhabitants.
