The Action Group documented the death of Palestinian refugee “Mohammed Yehia Sawan,” due to torture in the Syrian regime prisons, after being detained for two years. He was arrested on 1-4-2012, and his death was announced on the 2nd of October 2014. He was a resident of Al-Raml camp in the town of Latikka.
The Action Group’s Monitoring and Documentation Team confirmed that the death toll of Palestinian refugees due to torture in the Syrian regime prisons, has risen to 480 male and female victims, including children and elderly people.
The Group confirmed that the actual number of victims due to torture is greater than that documented, because of the Syrian regime’s secrecy in revealing names and information regarding the detainees. In addition to the fear of the victims’ families of announcing the death of their son, in case of being chased by the regime.
On its part, the Action Group for Palestinians of Syria renewed its appeal to the Syrian regime, to release and reveal the unknown fates of over 1679 Palestinian detainees, stressing that what is taking place inside the Syrian prisons is a “war crime at all levels.”
The Action Group had issued a number of reports, including “Forced Disappearance 1,” “Forced Disappearance 2” and “Massacre of Pictures,” which discussed the Palestinian refugee victims who were killed due to torture and forced displacement, amid the bloody conflict between the Syrian regime and the opposition.
