"Everyone will face the same fate," these were the words of the Jordanian security members for two Palestinian Syrian families after being deported to the Syrian territory, while they were in a refugee camps in Jordan.
Palestinian Documentation and Monitoring Center "Wathiq" - Daraa camp- that the Jordanian authorities' deported two Palestinian families from the Yarmouk refugee camp in 1-7 2015; they are:
The family of the Palestinian refugee "Ayman al-Adra": father, mother, and five children.
The family of the Palestinian refugee "Ameen al-Adra," Ayman's brother: father, mother, and two sons.
They are families living in "Cyber City camp" on the outskirts of the border town of Ramtha with Syria. "Ayman al-Adra" tells how they were arrested and deported: "At first a number of Jordanian public security members raided the camp, confiscated phones, cut communication lines, and told us to get ready 10 minutes to get out of the camp."
Ayman said: "after they took us to Sarhan square next to Jordanian-Syrian border, they gave us our phones and deported us to Syria, as the Jordanian security said phrases such as "everyone will face the same fate."
"Ameen Adra" - brother of Ayman – commented on the deportation incident by saying that "They are not deporting all Palestinian refugees at once for fear of the public opinion and the humanitarian organizations that greatly support Jordan."
Activists said that Jordan had violated all human rights and conventions against torture.
Recently, Jordan followed the policy of forced deportation for a number of Palestinian refugees who entered Jordan searching for a safe haven. Among the agreements, (Refugee Convention) and its Protocol for 196, the international refugee protection system, and Article 3 of the Convention against Torture which provides that any State is not allowed to expel, to return, or to handle any person to another state if there are real reasons that he would be in danger of being tortured.
It is noteworthy that "Cyber City camp" is like a detention center which is surrounded by a long fence and enhanced by stressed security guard, in addition to the supervision of several Jordanian security services.
The camp was originally a headquarter for Asian workers who were employed in the factories of the industrial city in the northern city of Irbid before it was closed as a result of the ongoing strikes of workers protesting against poor level of housing.
This place was donated by its owner to house the Palestinian refugees from Syria, as it houses about 175 Palestinian families who escaped from the war in Syria. However, about 10 families escaped the camp as a result of the dire conditions of refugees in this compound.
