‎10. Death Due to Torture‎

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

In considerable cases torture leads to death, but the ‎authorities do not acknowledge that. When the corpse of the ‎detainee is handed over to his relatives they are told not to ‎open the coffin and to burry it promptly, while the report of the ‎prison’s doctor explains out the death as the result of a […]

‎11. Death Because of Shooting‎

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

During this period the use of live bullets increased to terrorise ‎the citizens, some of whom were killed unjustifiably. On 22 ‎September 2007, Abdul-Hadi Bistu was killed by the bullets of ‎the police in Dummar in Rural Damascus, where he was ‎present while the municipal labourers were demolishing an ‎unlicensed house. The youth ‘Ammar Fandi […]

‎15. Restrictions on Media Freedoms‎

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

Mass media in Syria are restricted in respect of licensing and ‎the freedom of publication. The authorities continue restricting ‎licensing magazines, newspapers, TV channels and ‎broadcasting stations. Official mass media are still dominant in ‎all fields.

‎6. The Ordeal of the Returnees and Visitors

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

The returnees and visitors to Syria suffer from the risks of ‎being detained, interrogated and tortured. They are easy ‎victims to give information, be manipulated and be subjected ‎to the financial corruption characterising the intelligence ‎apparatus and the Syrian security authorities. We cite as ‎examples the detention of Abdullah Abdul-Rahman al-Zu’bi ‎from Dar’a Province, who […]

‎7. The Issue of Kurds‎

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

The crackdown on the Kurdish activists is going on in all its ‎varieties: detention, presentation to exceptional and military ‎courts, persistence in denying the rights of Kurds as citizens ‎entitled to all their rights, denying their cultural and ethnical ‎rights which the Regime awards to other ethnic groups living in ‎Syria and suppressing any of […]

‎8. The Issue of Arbitrary Detention‎

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

Arbitrary detentions go on in Syria widely in villages, towns ‎and cities, targeting whoever opposes the Regime and ‎whoever is suspected of opposing it. In reality, the majority of ‎arbitrary detentions do not have access to mass media and ‎human organisations, particularly when the case is related to ‎religious individuals, for they are secretly detained […]

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

‎13. Supreme State Security Court‎

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

Supreme State Security Court (SSSC) is one of the most ‎important devices of repression used by the security ‎authorities. By virtue of law, the authorities are entitled to form ‎more than one state security court and to set them up in ‎various areas of the country. The state security court was ‎formed to replace the […]

‎16. The Ordeal of Syrian Exiles in Iraq‎

14-January-2008 By shrc_admin

Syrian exiles residing in Iraq since the early 1980s were ‎exposed, during the period covered by the report, to major ‎dangers that threatened their life and existence. They were ‎targets for the Iraqi police, the armed militia close to them and ‎the American forces. About 38 of them were killed after their ‎being taken from […]
