The Syrian authorities deny their enforced disappearance of the soldier, Ahmed Jamal Tawuz, and the Syrian Network for Human Rights has not been able to know his fate so far, and his family has also been unable to do so, and they fear arrest and torture in the event of repeated questions about him, as happened with many similar cases.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights called on the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, and the Special Rapporteur on the right of every human being Enjoying the highest possible level of physical and mental health, I asked them to intervene with the Syrian authorities in order to urgently demand his release, the release of thousands of cases of enforced disappearance, and the need to know their fate
The Syrian government is not a party to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, but it is nonetheless a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Arab Charter on Human Rights, both of which violate the provisions of enforced disappearance.
