Mr Abdulrahman Al Hamada was abducted form his brother's home in Duma close to Damascus on 30 April 2011. Alkarama fears for his physical and mental integrity as he is at high risk of torture and ill-treatment during his detention, particularly given the current context in Syria.
22-year-old Mr Al Hamada, is a Syrian student normally attending business school. We fear that he might have been arrested as a hostage by the Syrian authorities as the latter search for relatives of Mr Al Hamada who are actively involved in the growing Syrian opposition movement.
