Ali Alolou, media worker and reporter with Khabar News Agency, born in 2001, from Kelli town in the northern suburbs of Idlib governorate, was arrested on May 10, 2023, by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) members who raided his home and assaulted him. He was taken to an undisclosed location.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that Ali’s phone were seized following his arrest, and he has not been allowed to contact his family. SNHR is concerned that they may be subjected to torture in detention and may go on to become yet more forced disappearance cases, with 85% of all those detained in Syria falling into this category.
We call for the provision of reparations for the victims and their families, both materially and morally, and call on all parties to put an end to all arbitrary detentions whose only purpose is to spread mass fear and extort people.
We also call for revealing the fate of thousands of forcibly disappeared persons by the HTS.
