AGPS: Damascus Unsafe Zone for Palestinian Refugees

AGPS has deemed Damascus and Rif Dimashq among other cities in Syria as unsafe places for Palestinian and Syrian returnees.

In its report issued on October 12, 2020 under the title “Europe: Deportation of Palestinians of Syria”, AGPS said Palestinians and Syrians who fled Damascus and its suburbs risk losing their lives if they are forcibly deported to the war-torn country, where civilians’ life has been marred by the uncontrolled circulation of weapons, property seizure, and deadly shootouts. 

A number of Palestinian refugees were arrested in Syria as they returned from European or neighboring destinations. Scores of them have been dragged into military conscription and/or have had their families blackmailed, in serious violation of the international humanitarian law.

The report provides answers to some of the controversial issues raised by European right-wing governments regarding the security situation in and around Damascus. 

It refers to Denmark’s decision to strip 94 Palestinians from Syria of their visas on claims that Damascus has become a safe destination.

The report concludes that the arguments provided by Denmark and other governments claiming that Syria is safe to return to are not only counterfeit but they encourage European bodies to force their governments to take similar closed-door immigration policies.
