To the relevant authorities:

I write to request the unconditional, immediate release of Noura Aljizawi from detention in Syria’s security system.

 Noura Aljizawi a prominent human rights activist who was abducted by the Syrian Security on 28/03/2012 and is now being held incommunicado detention at an unknown location.  There is a concern that during her detention she has been tortured repeatedly and coerced to confess crimes that she has not committed. 

It is believed that Noura is in urgent need of medical treatment and legal advice that she has been unable to receive.  Arbitrary detention is illegal according to Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, endorsed by Syria in 1969 and 1976. 

In addition, I remind you that torture is illegal in Syria, according to Article 28 (3) of the Syrian Constitution. The Penal Code of Syria stipulates punishment for anyone inflicting torture.

I hold the Syrian government responsible for the safe return of Noura Aljizawi. I further request that all prisoners of conscience should be released immediately and unconditionally.

Sincerely,
