The Egyptian authorities released the two Palestinian Syrian refugees, Fadi Shareef Hawarna, 47 years, and Alaa Abdulwahab Durgham, 24 years, after being detained for 23 consecutive months in charges of illegal migration, while all other countries refused to receive them.
The families of the two refugees confirmed to the AGPS that they obtained entry visas to Sudan after great efforts, and they entered Sudan about 20 days ago with no problems.
The two refugees were transferred among the Egyptian prisons. After they entered Egypt under official visa on Thursday 10-7-2016, they tried to travel illegally by "Death Boats," trying to reach Europe, yet they failed. The Egyptian coast guards arrested them with a group of travelers, while a deportation order was issued to be deported from Egypt within 15 days.
For being Palestinian Syrians, all countries refused to grant them entry visa, so they remained at "Shubrakheit" prison hoping that the UNHCR would intervene to solve their problem. After 40 days, all prisoners were released except for them, and then they lost hope.
On 14-2-2015, the two refugees were transferred to a prison in Ismailia city. After the failure of deporting them to the Gaza strip, they were deported to Alqanater prison in Cairo on 24-8-2015, and then they were placed in a deportation prison to the Gaza Strip.
It is referred that AGPS launched a number of calls through media calling the international, humanitarian and rights organizations to release them.
