The Assad regime persists in concealing the destinies of detainees from across Syrian society, with security authorities withholding names and arrest locations from recent years.
The Action Group for Palestinians in Syria has reported the ten-year detention of Palestinian-Syrian siblings, Muhammad and Moayad Akkawi, by the Assad regime. The group, based in London, stated that the two brothers were apprehended on 15 June 2013 at a regime checkpoint in the Yarmouk camp in Damascus. Presently, no information exists regarding their fate or whereabouts.
According to the monitoring group, there are 3,076 Palestinian-Syrian detainees within Assad regime prisons, their fates shrouded in mystery. It also pointed out that 465 Palestinian-Syrian detainees, including women and the elderly, have perished under torture in the prisons of the Assad regime.
