UN official says over 100,000 detained and missing in Syria

None

Reports suggest that more than 100,000 people in Syria have been detained, abducted or gone missing during the eight-year conflict, with the government mainly responsible, the U.N. political chief said Wednesday.

 

Rosemary DiCarlo urged all parties to heed the Security Council's call for the release of all those arbitrarily detained, and to provide information to families about their loved ones as required by international law.
