“Dozens of Syrians gathered on the streets of Damascus last night, hoping that their relatives would be among a batch of detainees released under a new amnesty.
Fadel Abdul Ghany, chairman and founder of the UK-based Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), said: So far, only about 150 detainees have been released, while security services arrest an average of 100 people every month.
Most detainees spend years without charge or even trial, said Ghany. There are a lot of charges that are attached to detainees other than terrorism.
Syrians are waiting for a real, comprehensive and unconditional amnesty that covers all detainees in all security branches and ends their suffering and their sons’ suffering, Ghany said”.
