A commemoration was staged by activists in the southern Turkish city of Gaziantep to pay tribute to detainees killed in Syrian government jails.
Ex-detainees Karim AlJalili, from AlNeirab Camp in Syria, and Reyad Afjalar, a Turkish national, delivered separate speeches about their experiences in Syrian government lock-ups.
Speaking at the event, a jury drew attention to possible avenues that can be crossed in favor of the cause of torture victims.
The participants lit candles in a symbolic gesture hailing the souls of the victims of torture, whom activists compared to candles illuminating the road to freedom.
AGPS documented the internment of 1,686 Palestinians in Syrian government jails, among them 108 women and girls.
