A 25-year-old woman from Raqqa city, named as Nuha al Mar’i, was arrested by Syrian Democratic in front of the National Hospital in the city on April 4, 2021, and taken to a detention center in the city.
SNHR notes that no member of Nuha’s family was informed of her arrest, with her phone being confiscated, preventing her from contacting her family. SNHR fears that she will be subjected to torture and ultimately classified as forcibly ‘disappeared’ like approximately 85 percent of the individuals detained in Syria.
SNHR notes that about 3,784 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.
