In the year 1980 he was summoned for investigation by the Syrian intelligence in regard to his brother Youssef's affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood. Since the time of his interrogation in Lebanon, there has been no contact between him and his family. Only years later, news arrived of his death under torture inside the Adra Sednaya in Damascus. The news came from prisoners who had been detained in the Sednaya prison at the same time as Captain Subhi Mahmoud Hafez and were successively released
