The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) condemned his killing and said the Syrian regime denied allowing anyone to visit him or a lawyer and has “spared no effort in pursuing, detaining and forcibly disappearing figures with no legal justification”.
The rights group said they have intelligence which states he had good health at the time of his arrest, indicating a strong probability that he died due to torture and medical negligence in a regime detention centre.
SNHR highlighted that the Syrian government did not disclose the death his death to the family at the time it happened, nor have they returned his body.
