SNHR briefed the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary disappearances, of the case of the citizen Tamer Abdul Rahman from Al Insha’at neighborhood in Homs city, age 55 at the time of his arrest, and asked to request of the Syrian authorities to release him, as he was arrested arbitrarily on 8 May 2014, as he was passing a checkpoint of government forces in Al Insha’at neighborhood in Homs city by the members of the checkpoint that is related to military security forces of government forces and took him to unknown place. His family are unable to have any information to determine his fate or his detention center after that date , since then his fate remain unknown for his family and the Syrian Network for Human Rights as well.
Syrian authorities deny enforcing the citizen Tamer Abdul Rahman to disappear, SNHR were unable to determine his fate until now, as is his family, and they are afraid of detention and torture in the event of repeating questions about him, as happened with many similar cases.
SNHR demanded the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearance to intervene with the Syrian authorities for his immediate release, and the release of thousands of cases of enforced disappearances and the need to determine their fate.
