Palestinian refugee Maamoun Besher AlJaloudi has been secretly locked up in Syrian government prisons for the fourth consecutive year.
Maamoun was kidnapped by Syrian security forces on June 25, 2015, at a checkpoint pitched between Beit Sahem and Yalda, south of Damascus. His condition and whereabouts remain unknown.
Shortly after Maamoun’s arrest, pro-government news outlets in Syria quoted him as confessing to his leadership role with Aknaf Beit AlMaqdis battalion in Yarmouk Camp and to alleged ties with the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas.
Hamas denied the allegations, saying that it had no ties with the group and that AlJaloudi was subjected to forced confession at gunpoint.
