A man named as Nayef al Roumi, from al Dsheisha town which is administratively a part of al Shaddadi city in the southern suburbs of Hasaka governorate, was arrested by Syrian Democratic Forces during a raid on his home in the town on November 30, 2020, and taken to an undisclosed location in the city.
SNHR notes that no member of Nayef’s family was informed of his arrest, with his 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 in Syria.
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.
