On 2 August 2011, Fahd Ali was taken back to his cell following a session of torture. Shortly after, he started to have convulsions. His co-detainees immediately called the guards, who did not respond for thirty minutes. They finally took Mr Adnan out of his cell, but brought him back in the same state two hours later. He eventually passed away that day.
Fahd Ali Adnan's case illustrates the violence used by the Security forces in Syria, a worrying trend which led the Security Council to organize an urgent meeting at the beginning of August. In light of the constant stream of information about serious violations occuring in Syria, Alkarama has paid special attention to the situation in the country since May this year. We will continue to report cases of human rights violations to the United Nations.
