Palestinian Refugee from Syria Released by Turkish Authorities Following 20 Days in Custody

The Turkish authorities released on Monday, October 15, the Palestinian refugee from Syria Ammar Ahmad Aboud, from Yarmouk Camp in Syria, after he had been kept in a detention center for over 20 days.

Ammar was arrested by Turkish cops in Esenyurt Square, in Istanbul, along with five other migrants from Syria.

Reaching out to AGPS by phone, Ammar said his release was brokered by Palestinian institutions and NGOs, adding that he was granted a temporary card allowing him to move across the Turkish territories until a kimlik visa, granting him a refugee status, is issued.

Sometime earlier, activists appealed to the Turkish authorities, human rights bodies, and the Palestine Embassy in Istanbul to make serious steps in order to release Ammar and work out his calamitous situation.

Unofficial data indicates that nearly 8,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Turkey, where they have been enduring dire conditions and denied access to the local labor market.
