Syrian-American psychotherapist tortured to death by Assad regime: rights group
A Syrian-American psychotherapist, who returned to Syria in 2017, was tortured to death by Bashar al-Assad regime forces, according to a human rights group.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) says the family of Dr. Majd Kamalmaz received news of his death earlier this month.
He was being held in a Syrian regime detention center.
Kamalmaz’s family had not heard from him since his detention.
SNHR called for an immediate and independent investigation into all incidents of arrest and torture that have taken place.
In March 2011, popular protests erupted in Syria demanding a peaceful transfer of power, but the Assad regime chose to brutally suppress demonstrators.
This pushed the country into a devastating civil war.
Syria has since witnessed unprecedented devastation and displacement, according to the U.N..
More than six million Syrians have fled the country, with three million hosted by Turkiye, and 6.7 million internally displaced.
