Dutch investigations revealed that Syrian activist Mazen al-Hamada, a refugee in the Netherlands and outspoken critic of Bashar al-Assad’s regime, was lured back to Syria by a spy posing as a refugee.

The spy, Majed A, promised him safety but collaborated with Syrian intelligence to deceive anti-regime refugees under the guise of reconciliation.

Hamada, previously tortured in Sednaya prison after a 2012 arrest, fled to the Netherlands and became a vocal activist.

Despite warnings, he returned to Syria in 2020, was re-arrested, and later found dead in a military hospital in December 2024.
