Action Group reporter in Lebanon stated that the Lebanese General Security forces on the Lebanese -Syrian borders had prevented a Palestinian Syrian family from entering to Beirut to make their reunion interview at the German Embassy. The family, a mother and her son, said that she had arrived the Lebanese crossing yesterday morning at 7 a.m. after delivering the necessary papers, the officer refused to let her in claiming that her (under the pretext) entrance permission didn't come yet.
The Palestinian refugee (M.G) added that she communicated with her husband in Germany to solve the problem. The latter went to the Immigrants Department "Oslander" which confirmed that the interview at the German Embassy includes the mother and her son too. While Lebanese general security officer has affirmed that he tried several times to contact with the German embassy without receiving any reply, 'the embassy is lying' he said.
The action Group had also observed similar cases for Palestinian Syrian refugees who had been barred from entering Lebanon to make reunion interviews at the European embassies. The brutal procedures against the Palestinian refugees aiming to enter Lebanon are the routine for Lebanese General Security officers on the crossings with Syria. Exceptionally, some Palestinian Syrian families managed to enter Lebanon after a severe suffering from the Lebanese General Security.
As a result of all the European embassies closure in Damascus, all the paperwork for Syrians and Palestinian Syrians needs to travel to a neighboring country. Immigrants used to choose Lebanon. Although the family's entry into Lebanon was with a proved procedural aim with no intention to stay there, border authorities had prevented Palestinian Syrian families from entering its lands.
It's Important to note that those cases represent a small documented part unlike many others. Each family has its own suffering story, centered around the prolonged war in Syria. As a result, the majority of the cases should be put in a legal context which abide the relevant governments to secure the protection and care, especially the European countries and its embassies that schedule to interview people in Lebanon. Some activists accused them with disregard and silence. even, all those embassies have a detailed information about what's happening with the Palestinian and Syrian families on the Lebanese-Syrian borders.
