In 2021, the Syrian government announced the execution of 24 individuals in relation to a series of wildfires that happened in September and October 2020, which the government described as pyro-terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the report indicates that the State is committing several human rights abuses that may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the report argues that torture of detainees by State actors remains widespread, and detention conditions are \u201csub-human.\u201d Nearly 15,000 individuals have died due to torture since the beginning of the conflict in 2011.\u00a0 On the other hand, enforced disappearances and incommunicado detention appears systemic. Also, minority ethnic groups and women in particular are subject to violations during detention.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the submitted report addresses that the ongoing conflict continues to make it difficult to ascertain the extent of death sentences and executions, especially that death penalty practices lack transparency and due process.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/tbinternet.ohchr.org\/_layouts\/15\/treatybodyexternal\/Download.aspx?symbolno=INT%2FCCPR%2FICO%2FSYR%2F51034&amp;Lang=en\">full report<\/a> is available in English on the Committee\u2019s 137th session webpage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of the 137th Session of the Human Rights Committee that will take place between 27 February and 24 March 2023, the Advocates for Human Rights, the World&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":20138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"link","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1385,1389,1390,1128,1396,1386],"class_list":["post-20159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-link","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases","tag-1385","tag-civil-rights","tag-political-rights","tag-syria-2","tag-the-death-penalty","tag---2","post_format-post-format-link"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
