Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- We are very concerned for the 220,000 Syrians who are currently detained in prisons in Syria;
- According to Amnesty International and the Syrian Network for Human Rights, 80,000 detainees (m en, women, and children) are unknown or classified as missing;
- Over 13,000 of these detainees have been declared dead or have been tortured to death;
- The families of those who died are given notification of death of their loved ones without proof or the ability to bury the bodies; and
- Political prisoners in Syria endure horrific torture including sexual abuse and rape.
