The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) and the Action Group for Palestinians of Syria (AGPS) have sounded the alarm over the situation of Rehab Kasem, a Palestinian-born refugee in Denmark who faces the risk of being forcibly deported to Syria after a Danish court ruled that she be returned to the war-ravaged country on claims that it has become a safe destination.
This came in an oral statement delivered on July 7 at the UN Human Rights Council in General.
Rehab, who has held a sit-in outside of the headquarters of the Danish Parliament, said in her appeals circulated on social media: “I don’t want to die… It is high time I lived in peace. I don’t want to be another picture in Caesar’s album of the victims of death under torture; Nor do I want to have my name included on the lists of persons massacred in Syria”.
Rehab also wishes to be buried in Denmark where her sons and grandchildren have been living for years.
Like thousands of other Palestinian refugees in/from Syria, Rehab seeks to live in peace and die in peace, the statement concluded.
