The Syrian regime continues to conceal the fate of 1678 Palestinian refugees who have been forcibly hidden since the beginning of the war, in its prisons and security and intelligence branches. No information about their fate, health or reasons for their detention are known.
According to the Action Group’s Monitoring and Documentation Team, the detained were not only men, but there are 106 Palestinian refugees under Syrian detention.
The Action Group also documented the death of 478 male and female refugees who have died under torture during their detention in the regime’s prisons. The documentation occurred through contacting the relatives of the victim or released prisoner. The real number is expected to be higher than the number documented because of the silence of the regime on the names of the victims in its prisons, as well as the fact that some parents choose not to announce the death of their relatives in the detention camps, for fear of retaliation by the security forces of the regime.
