They are detained in a dark room, while the father and the son are isolated from the mother and their daughter.
Their daughter Ruba confirmed that their health condition is getting worse especially her father. 10 days ago they all suffered of stomachache, diarrhea, and high temperature due to the lack of sun exposure, while the food has not changed from the moment of detention. The family lives a severe stress, especially the father..
The family had departed from Lebanon to Brazil to look for a decent life, but the poor conditions in the new country forced the family to leave to Turkey that detained them. The family said "that after being detained, they provided asylum to the Turkish authorities, but it was rejected. The Turkish authorities contacted with the Lebanese authorities –for the fact that the family traveled to Brazil from Lebanon- which in turn refused to receive the family, and that they will deport the family to Syria if they will be deported back to their territory. "
Under constant threat by the Turkish authorities of deporting the family to Syria or Brazil, the family appointed a lawyer to prevent the Turkish authorities from deporting them to Brazil. Their cause remains pending after the rejection of any state to receive them and give them a decent life.
The family also accused the Palestinian Authority's embassy in Turkey of negligence, as the embassy only contacted with the Turkish Foreign affairs and all were in vain. At the end of the appeal, the family called on all the Palestinian, humanitarian and human rights institutions to save them from the detention room and to help them live in freedom and dignity, the things that we hoped to achieve after leaving Yarmouk and Syria heading to Lebanon then Brazil then to Turkey.
