Torture victims | Young man from Hama countryside dies under torture in regime prison after nine-year arrest

Hama province: A young man from Khattab town in the northern Hama countryside died under torture in regime’s prison after being arrested for nine years.

According to Syrian Observatory activists, the young man was a construction labourer before he was arrested by regime security services in 2014, following a raid campaign on his home in Khattab town and taking him to the “Air Security” Branch in Hama.

On January 6, the victim’s family learned that he had been killed in a regime detention centre in 2017.

Accordingly, the number of people who died under torture in Syrian regime prisons since the beginning of 2023 has risen to two, including a dissident of the regime’s army.
