The number of Palestinian refugees who died as a result of torture in Syrian prisons is on the rise, the Action Group for Palestinians of Syria warned yesterday.

According to the group, the bodies of 18 Palestinians from Yarmouk refugee camp were identified mostly using leaked photos.

The pictures show dozens of bodies of the captives who were tortured to death in Syrian jails.

The group announced earlier that it had documented the killing of nearly 315 Palestinian refugees under torture in Syrian prisons.
