The AGPS correspondent reported that the Egyptian Authorities transferred the two Palestinian Syrian refugees, Fadi Sharif Hawarna, 47 years, and Alaa Abdulwahab Durgham, 24 years, who were detained at Al Qanater prison in Cairo, to one of the Egyptian prisons allocated to deport the detainees to the Gaza strip, according to their families.
The Egyptian security has transferred them previously to Al Areesh prison in 11-3-2015, and tried to deport them to the Gaza strip, yet an UNRWA official in Jordan intervened and prevented them to be departed, in addition to the refusal of the Palestinian authorities.
The detainees' families expressed their resentment regarding the negligence of humanitarian and human rights institutions, the UNHCR, and the Palestinian embassy, as they called for action and move to release the detainees from Egyptian prison and to end their ongoing tragedy for more than a year and a half.
Ala and Fadi had traveled from Syria to Egypt under an official visa on Thursday 10/07/2014, days after they tried to travel illegally through the "sea boats" in an attempt to get to Europe, but they failed, where the Egyptian Coastguards arrested them with a group of travelers. A deportation ordered was issued to deport them from Egypt in a deadline for only 15 days.
For being Palestinian Syrians, all countries refused to give them entry visa and they stayed in Shubrakheet prisons hoping that the UNHCR would intervene and solve their problem. After 40 days, every detainee was released except for them. They lost hope, and they were transferred to a prison in Ismailia city in 14-2-2015. After the authorities failed to deport them to the Gaza strip, they were transferred to Al Qanater prison in Cairo in 24-8-2015 till now.
Refugees' lawyer has confirmed earlier, they had been held for a year and seven months without any crime and without being sentenced of any court ruling and added «the only charge that plastered them is illegal immigration charge and there is no law criminalized it. He appealed to the Egyptian authorities to release the two young Palestinian men for being war victims in Syria, like other Syrian refugees. "
It is noteworthy that thousands of Palestinian refugees fled the ravages of the Syrian war and the targeting of their camps to neighboring countries and European, many of whom had been detained during attempts to reach Europe, such as Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Serbia.
