The AGPS documented several violations by the Lebanese authorities towards the Palestinians of Syria refugees after the AGPS received many complain letters. The letters contain complains that the Lebanese authorities prevent the refugees to enter the Lebanese territory though they have the required documents, and prevent them from renewing their residencies and if they went to renew they put the transfer stamp on their documents because of that many of them didn’t go to renew their residencies which led to put their lives caught between the renew and transfer. The prevention prompted the refugees not to renew their residencies and to stay prisoned at home and the areas that they live in fearing to be arrested and transferred to Syria which increased their economic burdens. Some cases were documented that the Lebanese authorities stamped the refugees passports with the stamp of transfer and some of them were granted two weeks of residencies where some of them the authorities refused to renew their residencies.
The Lebanese authorities are still dealing with the Palestinians of Syria file from the security prospective and all their procedures are controlled with the fear of resettlement and the alternative country in addition to the suffering of the Palestinian refugees such as shelter, food, clothes and medicine. The AGPS called the Lebanese government to stop its violations towards the Palestinians of Syria refugees and treating them as refugees and they have the right to stay in Lebanon till the end of the ongoing conflict in Syria.
The AGPS also demanded the Lebanese government to comply with the international human rights treaties and conventions and not to return any refugees who demand a safe shelter. It is mentioned that the total number of the Palestinians of Syria in Lebanon is about 51300 refugees and the big number left to Syria on two main waves the first was on August 2012 after the Jaouna Street massacre at Yarmouk and the second wave was after the strike on Abdulqader mosque on December 2012 most of them didn’t return back specially after the intensifying procedures of entry to Lebanon.
