Activists confirmed to the AGPS that the Turkish authorities at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul detain the refugee, Basil Mahmoud Azzam, a military dissident from the Palestinian Liberation Army.
According to the activists, the Turkish authorities are preventing Mr. Basil from entering its territory, amid fears of deportation to Lebanon which may handed him over to the Syrian security. The activists appealed to all Palestinian and International official institutions and factions to work not to deport him to Lebanon, demanding the Turkish authorities to allow him access to its territory.
The activists stressed that any contrary action should put the refugee's life at danger, while the Turkish embassies had declined, for more than two years, issuing entry visas for Palestinian Syrian refugees to its territory.
