Reported place of arrest: Qusayr, Homs governorate

Reported date of arrest: 18 May

Reported date of delivery of body: 25 May

Observations on corpse: Pathologist video observation: Blunt force lesion under left eye. Possible burns on abdomen and legs. There seem to be haemorrhages on heels/feet. No external signs giving indication of cause of death.

Details: Ahmed al-Masri, an unemployed man of about 28 years of age from Qusayr, south of the city of Homs, disappeared one day in the third week of May. A neighbour told Amnesty International that he could not remember which day it was that Ahmed al-Masri disappeared but knew that he had participated in many of the protests in Qusayr and had been carrying a banner that day, and so may have been on his way to or from a demonstration. A few days later, a released detainee and an informal contact in the security forces told the family that Ahmed al-Masri was being held at a detention centre run by Military Intelligence. His father went to the Military Intelligence centre and tried to hand over some medicine for his son, who had a medical condition relating to his brain, but a senior officer told him there was “no need”. A few days later again, the family received the news that Ahmed al-Masri had died and a family member went to the National Hospital in Homs to identify the body. An official document stated that the cause of death was “severe respiratory distress”. A video clip of the body indicates, according to a forensic pathologist consulted by Amnesty International, “possible burns to the abdomen and legs” and “blunt force lesion under left eye”.
