The Syrian regime announced its intent to seize the property of military dodgers, in reference to people eluding government-imposed obligation to serve in the military forces.
Brigadier-General Ilyas Beitar said draft evaders aged 42 and above will have their property and money confiscated. An exception will be made to those who paid 8,000 USD as a fine.
Activists said the new decision is more dangerous than Law 10 which gives expatriates 30 days to prove property ownership.
The Syrian government forces continue to drag Palestinian refugees to mandatory military conscription, forcing dozens to become internally displaced and dozens more to seek refuge in other countries.
Shortly after the outburst of the deadly warfare, the Syrian government forced Palestinian refugees aged 18 and above to join affiliated militias for periods of at least one year and a half.
Those who refuse conscription are subjected to crackdowns, abductions and even executions. As a result, thousands fled the tension-stricken country in the hunt for a safer shelter.
