German’s Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has turned down a demand for humanitarian asylum by a youth from Syria on account that he fled military conscription with the Syrian army. The refugee was only granted subsidiary protection.
A European official said draft evasion in Syria might serve as a motive for rejecting demands for permanent visa and residence permits by migrants and asylum seekers.
The youth filed a lawsuit at a court in Hannover. The case was passed on to the European Court of Justice. The final verdict is expected to be released in the next few weeks.
Dozens of Palestinian refugees from Syria fled war-torn Syria for fear of being dragged into the bloody warfare and forced to join pro-government battalions.
