. بدت حكاية الكوما، الإطار الأنسب لمقاربة أوضاعنا العبثية، العصية على الفهم. من خلالها يمكن مزج الواقعي بقسوته وفجاجته، بأحلامنا وتخيلاتنا التي تبدو أحياناً المنجى الوحيد من قسوة الواقع. الكوما، بدت لنا أيضاً مدخلاً للتفكير بعشرات آلاف السوريين المُغيبين قسراً في السجون، أو المُختفين، أو الذين ترقد أجسادهم في مكانٍ ما بلا قبور.

forcibly imprisoned
This would be a good option for a straight translation. Another approach would be something more colloquial like, "locked away in prison."

Arbitrarily detained/apprehended/imprisoned
Just a guess.
With all due respect to the other answers, it goes without saying that no one is voluntarily imprisoned.

: خطرت في بالي نفس الفكرة - كيف يكون المرء مغيّباً في السجن طواعيةً لا قسراً؟ الخطأ في النص، ولابد أن القصد المغيّب بالاعتقال التعسفي

: اتفق معك مع اختلاف بسيط.. وهو أن تكون "المغيب تعسفياً بالاعتقال" مع الشكر
