International Day of the Disappeared - Mohamed Bashir Arab

We must act on behalf of hundreds of Syrian detainees who appear to have been subjected to enforced disappearance — including Mohamed Bashir Arab, the doctor whose mother and sister continue to rise and fall at the hope of information about his whereabouts. Amnesty International has been documenting cases of enforced disappearance in Syria since the late 1970s. The number of disappearances has increased notably since the beginning of the Syrian uprising in 2011.
