Deaths in custody during the armed conflict in Syria, 2011–2023

HRDAG

A key question of interest for the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic is how many victims of the ongoing conflict were killed while in custody? Through our long collaboration with both the UN and multiple Syrian documentation groups, our team of data scientists at the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG) have access to documented records of victims killed, under a variety of circumstances, in the Syrian Arab Republic between 2011 and 2023. This report is based on records collected by eight sources documenting deaths in the ongoing armed conflict in Syria.
