"Insults and cursing and intended humiliation and delay to miss the interview and go back home disappointed" with this words, the Palestinian Tasnim.Sh (nickname) summed up her suffering in the Lebanese border point while she was trying to attend an interview in European Embassy in Beirut to reunite with her husband, but the Lebanese security members wasted her dreams of soon reunion.
Tasnim was exposed to cursing and insults alongside with many other Syrian refugees who were blocked out for hours for weak pretences such as shifting the officer-in-charge and so on, turning deaf ears to her entreaties as she escorted her children and she might miss her appointment.
"It is all about the mood of the officer" Tasnim expalined, indicating that later she lost her interview appointment while she was still at the border point, to end up going back home at night paying a lot of money for nothing.
Tasnim assured to the AGPS that it was not easy at all to set the embassy's appointment, and now she has to start again and to suffer once more to get another appointment which could be after three months at least, bearing in mind that there are no guaranties not to be stopped again at the borders.
It should be noted that all the reunion arrangements should be done in another country as almost all European Embassies closed in Damascus. Knowing that Palestinian Syrians are not allowed to travel almost to any country at all, they are being hindered by the Lebanese Authorities although they have sufficient proofs about their intention to reunion with their families in Europe and not settling in Lebanon whatsoever.
