Palestinian refugee Dhiaa AlDeen AlKubra, who has been held in Turkish custody for the eighth day, has appealed to the Palestine Embassy in Turkey, the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, the Turkish Association in Solidarity with Palestine (FIDAR), and the international humanitarian and human rights organizations to pressurize the Turkish authorities to release him.
Dhiaa was arrested in Istanbul on May 14, 2022, on his way to a supermarket. Police said he does not hold a Turkish protection card known as “kimlik”. Dhiaa holds a Palestinian-Authority stamped passport.
Unofficial statistics indicate that 10,000 Palestinians from Syria have sought shelter in Turkey, where they have been facing dire socio-economic conditions and denied access to the local labor market.
Turkish embassies continue to prevent Palestinian refugees from Syria from obtaining visas. As a result, hundreds of Palestinians have embarked on life-threatening journeys via illegal immigration roads to reach Turkey, fleeing war-tattered Syria, among other war-stricken zones.
