Vigils Held Outside of Danish Parliament over Deportation Orders

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Danish parliament in Copenhagen to protest against the government’s plans to repatriate refugees who come from Syria around the capital Damascus.

Last week, thousands of protesters also turned up for demonstrations and protests in 25 cities across Denmark to say no to the Danish government's withdrawal of residence permits for Syrian refugees.

Activists and organizations joined forces in a joint protest against the Danish government's plans for returns of Syrian refugees. Haifaa Awad, Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, Dansk Flygtningehjælp Ungdom and Amnesty International Denmark convened demonstrations across the country.

The message is clear: The Danish government should immediately stop plans to withdraw Syrian residence permits.

Hundreds of Syrian refugees, including children, have been told by the Danish Immigration Service to return to Syria, assessing that Damascus and the surrounding areas are safe to return to. At least 39 Syrians have received their final assessment in the Refugee Board - and are now in a deportation position.

But Syria is far from being a safe country. Although military hostilities have diminished in most of the country, Syrian citizens continue to risk persecution and human rights abuses - including in Damascus and the surrounding area.
