A man named as Fasih Abdul Naser al Fasih, from Khneiz village in the northern suburbs of Raqqa governorate, was arrested on October 1, 2020, by the Syrian Democratic Forces personnel during a raid on his home and taken to an undisclosed location.
SNHR notes that no member of Fasih’s family was informed of his arrest, with the phone being confiscated, preventing him from contacting his family. SNHR fears that he will be subjected to torture and ultimately classified as forcibly ‘disappeared’ like approximately 85 percent of the individuals detained.
SNHR notes that about 3,337 Syrian citizens are still detained or forcibly disappeared in the SDF’s detention centers, constituting a grave threat to their wellbeing given the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
