Cases of juvenile executions or torture

"They took me to a cell measuring two meters by one meter in which there were four prisoners. I was the fifth. We had to close the slit in the toilet in the cell to sleep it off, because there was no space.

On the evening of my arrival in that section, I was called for the first session of questioning. I was tortured in the "wheel" (the dulab) and beaten with a big stick of wood on the entire body.

The officer accused me of "possession of weapons" and I was beaten for nearly three hours to confess, but I never admitted anything, because I never had a weapon.

Two jailers struck me while I in turn questioned. One was called "the blond", but the other "long" and the man who questioned me was known as "Abu'l nar" (Father of the fire), one of the most brutal section.

The next day I was summoned for another interrogation. They tied my hands behind my back with a metal chain, tied her up to the ceiling and hung me to the point that his feet barely touched the floor - the method of shabah. They took off his clothes, except underwear and they beat me with a wooden stick of about 5 cm in diameter for three hours, and poured cold water on him even though it was cold. (...)

I was interrogated for the third time on 16 April, when the officers of the section had broken into my house and took away the computer on which I was working. (...)
After that I was called in for questioning 13 other times. But I was interrogated only once. The other times they did it for fun, because I was never asked any questions, they just tortured. "

Who says you Muaz Abdul Rahman, born in 1997. Age: 16 years. He was arrested on April 2 while walking the streets of Hama, his city, with a friend and was released August 6, 2013.

During his captivity Muaz has changed several detention centers, has suffered all kinds of beatings and torture, and finally was brought before the Court for terrorism. In section 215 of the Mukhabarat military Damascus has also had to endure the harassment of the other prisoners: those who are no longer, in fact, often beat other inmates in exchange for a little 'more space to sleep and better food given by captors.

The story of Muaz with all the details and photos harrowing was collected from the Documentation Centre of violations in Syria (Vdc) and widespread these days by a report of the organization that monitors the crimes committed in the country for over two years.
