AGPS’s correspondent in Homs stated that the Syrian security forces started a series of raids and house searches in Al-Aedin camp for Palestinian refugees, located in Homs, for no apparent reason.
The reporter also confirmed that the Syrian security summoned a number of Palestinian men and women for interrogation, adding that 4 women were arrested from the camp and transferred to Damascus without clarifications for their charges or arrest.
“Sahar Akkad,” a nurse working in Bisan Hospital, which is affiliated to the Palestinian Red Crescent and inside the camp, was among those arrested. The other three women remain anonymous.
In general, Palestinian refugees in Al-Aedin camp particularly face continuous tightening procedures from the Syrian forces and its affiliated factions, to force them to join the Palestinian Tahrir Army. Also, security emphasis on youth’s movement in and outside the camp, and the ongoing arrests against them, has turned the camp into a huge prison controlled by Syrian security, according to one of the camp’s residents. AGPS documented 187 Palestinian detainees from Al-Aedin camp; however Syrian forces are still hiding their fates and locations, as well as more than 1,000 refugees from other camps.
