Syrian committee reports investigator over detention death

The young man Mohammed Ghamira, who suffers from hemophilia, died at a police station in the rural area of Latakia as a result of being beaten during detention, leading to a severe brain hemorrhage. Syrian authorities announced the formation of a committee to investigate the incident and suspended seven officers from the station. It was found that the investigator who interrogated him had slapped him, despite the station chief's warning about his medical condition. Investigations confirmed that the cause of death was the blow he received, and that there was a serious mistake in handling his health situation; this error was described as severe and will be held accountable legally. The Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Emergency responded by pledging to hold those responsible accountable, emphasizing the importance of reforming the detention system to ensure detainees' rights and to fully document arrest procedures, as well as reviewing investigation procedures to prevent such incidents from recurring.
