Hasan and Feras Al Hariri are two brothers who own a garage in Kuwait where they fix cars. In July 2012, they returned to their hometown of Buser al-Harir, in Daraa Governorate, Syria, where their parents live.

On August 13, 2012, Syrian Military Security Forces began conducting mass arrests in Buser al-Harir in Daraa. It was reported that Syrian security forces were arresting every male who was over 15 years old at the time. Al Hariri’s father asked his sons Hasan and Feras to leave the town and go to a farm owned by the family in T’ara town in the al-Suwayda governorate.

Nevertheless, at 6 a.m. on August 14, 2012, Syrian military forces raided the farm before arresting the two brothers without presenting them with an arrest warrant. Since then, no one has received information about their whereabouts.

In 2018, their parents appointed a lawyer in Syria in order to search for their sons in prisons. The lawyer told them that they are detained in Sednaya Prison but they were not able to confirm this.

On November 29, 2022, MENA Rights Group and the Human Rights Foundation requested the intervention of the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances and urged the Syrian authorities to take urgent action to locate the two brothers and place them under the protection of the law.
