Over 48 non-governmental organisations called for a prominent human rights defender and her colleagues, who had been abducted in December 2013, to be freed, reports Human Rights Watch.
Razan Zeitouneh, a lawyer who cofounded the Local Coordination Committees (LCC), a network of civilian groups that organises and reports on protests, had received threats from the government and opposition groups over her human rights advocacy work.
The activists are thought to be in custody of an armed opposition group who have de facto control over the Douma region in Syria.
