Coinciding with the International Day of Peace, UK for Syria, in its official account, tweeted that tens of thousands of Syrians are still forcibly disappeared or missing. They added that the Syrian regime continues to practice cruelty or degradation by concealing their fate and whereabouts.
The UK stressed “to confirm the calls of the International Commission on Missing Persons (IMCP) to locate all those who are missing, and to investigate the reasons and circumstances of their disappearance in Syria.” They consider that “accountability is an investment in peace”.
They emphasized that they will continue to seek to ensure that all those responsible for the enforced disappearances are held accountable.
