Palestinian Thaer Abdul Razak Abdul Rahim has revealed shocking details about his secret detention in a Syrian regime prison.

“After being detained for one month and a half in a military branch in Aleppo I was transferred to Palestine Branch in Damascus”, said Thaer. “Because I was a Palestinian I’d been subjected to brutal torture. I wished every moment of torture would be the last in my life”.

Scores of prisoners died under torture and of undernourishment and medical neglect. “Imagine that every three prisoners are provided with a small potato or an olive as their daily meal”. 

“I saw with my own eyes how women would be raped”, he added.

Following brutal torture, Thaer was forced to put his fingerprint on unknown documents while he was blindfolded, before he was taken to Adra prison and then to Al Basa prison in Latakia. He had been denied the right to perform his prayers and to fast.
