Palestinian doctor Osama Omar AlKhaled, aged 64, died under torture in Syrian government prisons.
Osama, a resident of Daraa, south of Syria, and a native of the Palestinian village of Ein Ghazal, got his health condition worsened at the Adra prison, before he was pronounced dead on Monday, November 25, at a Damascus hospital.
Doctor Osama was arrested by Syrian security forces who raided Maaria refugee camp, in Yarmouk Basin, west of Daraa. He was dragged to a government prison in Damascus.
The victim used to run his clinic in AlShajara village, in Daraa’s western outskirts, and was called “the orphan’s doctor” as he provided orphans and needy people with free medical checks. He had tended to the wounded during anti-government protests since mid-2011.
