Bremen, 30th July 2001

Urgent call for help towards the clarification of the fate of my brother
 

To:
Human rights organisations
Amnesty International
Supporters of freedom, democracy and peace

My brother Ayhan Khalil Sheho, who was born in 1982 in Derswan, Afrin in Syria, disappeared on 18.08.1999, without us knowing anything about his whereabouts.
Through different reports, we learnt recently that he was arrested and imprisoned in the punishment camp, branch Palastina, because a denunciator had reported that my brother was critical about the regime. All attempts of my family to find out the whereabouts of my brother in order to be able to visit him, remained unsuccessful, because all official doors remained locked.
Our concern has increased even more, after we read the press statement of the official speaker of the committee for human rights in Syria, Mr. attorney Akthem Na'aiseh, which was published on 03 July 2001 in the Internet under www.ljan.de and in which it was stated that my brother had died in prison. The same report appeared in the 04.Juli 2001 edition of the newspaper "El Nahar".
Since the Syrian authorities are discreet in such affairs and show no reaction, thus giving no other possibility for my family, to learn something about the whereabouts of my brother, I am publishing this statement and request

  • The organisations fur human rights,
  • amnesty International
  • the supporters of liberty, democracy and peace
to urge the Syrian authorities to throw light on the whereabouts of my brother. And thereafter to help achieve a release from custody or to ensure a fair legal trial, in which constitutional and fundamental rights and rule of law is guaranteed, and not before a high court of state, such as the state security court in Syria, in which no legal right of defence is ensured and where court orders are partially pre-empted, to the disadvantage of the rights of alleged dissidents.

As the brother of the missing Ayhan Khalil Sheho, I turn to you for your assistance, in throwing light on his destiny
