AGPS documentation team said 313 Palestinian refugees, including 39 women and girls, have gone missing since the outbreak of the Syrian warfare. Most of those who have disappeared are reportedly residents of Yarmouk Camp for Palestinian refugees, south of Damascus.
Activists accused pro-government militias for targeting Palestinians in arbitrary abduction sweeps carried out under the security guise.
Several other Palestinians have been enduring mysterious fates in Syrian government penitentiaries.
AGPS believes that the number is far higher due to the gag orders enforced by the Syrian regime on the detainees’ fates and names, along with the reluctance of the casualty’s families to reveal the names of their deceased or missing relatives for fear of retaliation. A number of Palestinians had also been held captive by AlNusra Front and ISIS gangs.
