“The United Nations said a new drive to locate thousands of people missing in Syria’s war is set to be announced, as newly released statistics shed light on the scale of death in the conflict and in Syrian prisons.
Torture in Syria is systematic, and we do not expect it to stop without political change in the Syrian authorities, who have not investigated or held accountable those involved in torture, Fadel Abdul Ghany, founder of the SNHR, told MEE.
SNHR is constantly documenting arrests and cases of brutal torture, and victims as a result of torture. We confirm that thousands of detainees are still subjected to various types of torture, he added.
Torture is carried out in deliberate ways in which several institutions in the state participate, to implement it on a large scale, to influence and terrorise society as much as possible.
The issue of detainees cannot be resolved without a political solution, Abdul Ghany said, calling for international intervention.”
