Many others have been released and give horrifying testimonies about the treatments they had been subjected to. Among the various methods used on them were being hung from sensitive parts of their bodies, having slabs of damp (to create additional weight) concrete broken on the top of their heads or being severely beaten. They were usually placed in overcrowded cells (containing 35 individuals in a 20m2 cell) with limited access to sanitary facilities. They had to share the cell with other adult detainees.
In light of the above information, Alkarama asked the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture to take urgent action with the Syrian authorities to put an end to the torture and ill treatment of the above-named, and release them immediately.
