"Tens of thousands of people like Khalil have 'disappeared' at the
hands of Syrian state forces in the last three years. For many years,
Syria has held detainees in secret locations, unable to communicate with
the outside world - and these disappearances have increased
dramatically since 2011.
When state forces hold people incommunicado like this they are violating many human rights. When they do so on a mass scale, as Syrian forces appear to be doing, it can constitute a crime against humanity."
