"Four years after the ousting of al-Kaniat from Tarhouna, people are still reeling from the armed group's campaign of terror. Between February 2022 and October 2024, Amnesty International interviewed 74 individuals, including former detainees, victims' relatives and forensic experts. The fate and whereabouts of at least 68 people seized by al-Kaniat remain unknown to date, according to the Tarhouna Victims Association (TVA). Other families told Amnesty International that their efforts to secure compensation were met with bureaucratic obstacles, delays or refusals. In February 2022, Amnesty International visited "Boxat", an agricultural compound that was used as a makeshift detention facility.
