We propose a novel realization for a topologically superconducting phasehosting Majorana zero-modes on the basis of quantum spin Hall systems.Remarkably, our proposal is completely free of ferromagnets. Instead, weconfine helical edge states around a narrow defect line of finite length in atwo-dimensional topological insulator. We demonstrate the formation of a newtopological regime, hosting protected Majorana modes in the presence of s-wavesuperconductivity and Zeeman coupling. Interestingly, when the system is weaklytunnel-coupled to helical edge state reservoirs, a particular transportsignature is associated with the presence of a non-Abelian Majorana zero-mode.
