On a single day in 2013, the unknown swallowed the couple Fahed Al-Fandi and Hanan Al-Marzouqi without a trace. Hanan was standing in Marjeh Square in central Damascus, while Fahed was in the besieged Yarmouk camp, when all news of them was cut off.
Since then, no one has known their fate, and no official information has been available about their whereabouts or fate. It's as if the earth had opened up and swallowed them.
Enforced disappearance in Syria is no exception; it's a policy, but Fahed and Hanan's story sums up the tragedy: no charges, no trial, no news. Only a heavy silence has hung over their families for more than ten years.
