Activists and relatives of several Palestinian soldiers complained about the leadership of PLR refuses demobilising conscripts at the end of their military service period. Letters received by AGPS during the last few months assured that some soldiers have been serving since the beginning of the Syrian war in 2011. It is indicated that most of Palestinian refugees in Syria have to spend, at least, 2 years in compulsory military service. The service should be under the leadership of Palestine Liberation Army (PLA), which is fully subjected to the instructions of Syrian Ministry of Defence.
At end of the military service, one soldier completed all his requirements, but the top leader of PLA, Brigadier General "Tariq Alkhadra", refused to sign the application of demobilisation, which means keeping him in service for unknown time, the soldier, under condition of anonymity, told AGPS.
Many activists accused that PLA sided with Assad regime in the fighting against the opposition deploying Palestinian soldiers in the hotspots fighting.
AGPS has documented 153 victims from PLA during the war in Syria since March 2011.
