The Syrian Embassy in Malaysia has imposed a fine of 3,500 USD on expatriates, including Palestinian refugees, who had lived in Syria and wish to have their legal situation worked out.
A refugee told AGPS that Palestinian refugees from Syria in Thailand who have overstayed their visas have failed to renew their travel documents due to the exorbitant costs imposed by the embassy.
AGPS continues to sound alarm bells over the deteriorating humanitarian condition endured by dozens of Palestinian refugees who fled war-torn Syria to the Kingdom of Thailand. The refugees risk to be forcibly sent back to Syria or tossed into Thai detention centers for indefinite periods of time.
Sometime earlier, the refugees urged Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to pressurize the Thai authorities so as to release refugees trapped at IDC detention center and grant them legal and physical protection.
The refugees said the Thai authorities continue to rebuff their appeals for visa-renewal after they overstayed their residence permits. The Thai government also prohibited renting homes to the refugees, who have been considered as lawbreakers rather than asylum-seekers.
