‎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 ‎‎”sudden heart attack”. A closely related source, for example, ‎mentioned that the corpse of the youth Abdul-Mu’iz al-Salem ‎from Ariha, who had been detained in Palestine Branch, was ‎handed over to his relatives in a black bag on 4 July 2007 ‎under the supervision of the Military Intelligence, and they ‎were instructed to bury him hurriedly in a plot belonging to his ‎father. A similar event had occurred one year before when the ‎Military Intelligence handed the corpse of the detainee ‎Muhammad Shahir Haisa over to his family from Tishreen ‎Military Hospital in Rural Damascus. A special report received ‎by the Syrian Human Rights Committee late in October 2007, ‎mentions that Ibrahim ‘Alwan (35) from Aleppo died under ‎torture in one of the Syrian interrogation centres. On 6 ‎November 2007, a patrol of the Criminal Security Forces beat, ‎kicked and humiliated Ahmad Saleem al-Sheikh (37) in the ‎street till he died under the sight of the by-passers. ‎


Ahmed Abdulghafour Abdulbaqi died under torture‏ ‏also in ‎December 2007. The Authorities attempted to hide this ‎incident by claiming that he had been killed in Iraq, despite ‎records showing that he was detained by Syrian intelligence 5 ‎months ago.‎
