| | AI Group 137 Case |
 | | I am deeply concerned about the continued imprisonment of Mamun al-Humsi, Riad Seif, 'Aref Dalilah, Walid al-Bunni, Habib 'Isa, and Fawwaz Tello, prisoners of conscience who were arrested in August and September 2001 and are currently being held in ’Adra Prison, near Damascus. |
 | | Amnesty International believes that these men have been imprisoned solely for the peaceful expression of their political beliefs, and is concerned that they have been subjected to further injustices by Syrian authorities, such as grossly unfair trials before criminal and state security courts and - in some cases - torture and/or other ill-treatment. |
 | | Until their release, I ask that you ensure that prisoners are given prompt, regular and unrestricted access to family, lawyers and doctors, and are not subjected to torture and/or other ill-treatment by members of the Syrian security services. |
