Emails sent from several security branches to the fallen regime's National Security Directorate reveal the scale of the human tragedy that befell detainees in the security apparatus' dungeons during the first years of the Syrian revolution.
While the fate of tens of thousands of detainees remains unknown to this day, some documents sent to the National Security Bureau, headed by Major General Ali Mamlouk, contain explicit indications that a number of individuals died after their arrest, either as a result of direct "liquidation" operations, during raids and clashes, or due to torture; or for reasons that remained shrouded in ambiguity and deliberate negligence.
This list includes the names of individuals who were reported as having "died" or "killed," as stated in the official security text within the "Security Investigations" file. However, doubt remains. The inaccuracy of some names is due to the deliberate negligence and carelessness in writing these reports and cables.
However, it confirms that "field executions" were systematic in Assad's policies for dealing with detainees, whether civilians or even members of the army and police who defected or opposed his policies.
The following is a list of detainees whose arrest dates were documented and whose documents confirmed that they subsequently died.
