Brother at risk of torture in Syria


Recommended Posts

So I found this document from Amnesty international, about an Arabic brother in Syria who is at risk of torture, and it pleas the public to write to the government so that they can release him:

This dates from 2010 so it is quite old, but I had never seen this before now. A few other humanitarian websites also talk about this but other than that I have found nothing else.

 

Anybody here has any information about our dear brother ? How is he doing now ?

 

All I can do right now is pray for him

Most recent appears to be from March 2011

 

The European Association of Jehovah’s Christian Witnesses, 2 March 2011

Contribution to the Report of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights on the implementation of the new review mechanism of the Human Rights Council

Nader Nseir, who had lived in Lebanon for 17 years, was placed under house arrest when he went to visit his relatives in Syria at the end of February 2009. He was required to appear before the Intelligence Department daily. He did manage to return to Lebanon, but in early May 2010 the Lebanese authorities arrested him when they discovered a conflict in his residence permit. The matter would have been settled if Nader was not one of Jehovah's Witnesses, but the Lebanese authorities sent him back to Syria in response to the Syrian authorities' demand.
On May 7, 2010, he was taken into custody and incarcerated at an unknown prison. He was beaten many times severely. One of the interrogators in the High State Security—branch No. 285—beat him many times on his face and head. Nader lost about 20 kilograms in detention. On September 23, 2010, Nader was able to communicate with his wife for the first time since he was taken into custody. The authorities released him on October 11, 2010, through a lawyer. He will continue defending his case in the court through his lawyer.
