Palestinian refugee Essam Zuheir AlRdeif, a resident of Daraa camp, south of Syria, was released on Monday following eight years in the Sednaya military prison, in Damascus.
Updated statistics by AGPS indicate that 1,780 Palestinian refugees have been secretly held behind Syria’s prison bars, among them 109 women and girls along with dozens of minors.
AGPS documented the death of 616 Palestinian refugees under torture in Syrian government prisons since the outburst of the bloody warfare.
Field reporters believe the real numbers to be far higher due to the government’s reticence to reveal the names and fates of Palestinian captives and the families’ fears to disclose their relatives’ names over retaliation concerns.
