The German authorities deported the Palestinian-Syrian refugee “Mohammed Qabia - Abu Taha” to Greece in a precedent of its kind in the right of a Palestinian refugee from Syria after Germany re-activated the Dublin Convention.
In the details of the deportation, AGPS contacted the activist’s father “Abu Al-Abed Qabia” who was displaced to Lebanon and with his son Mohammed in Greece, Muhammad said that after months of torment between the island of Chios and Athens, he managed to gain residency and the Greek identity. Because he could not be treated in Greece, he left by plane to Germany in a regular manner.
When asked at the German airport why he had come, he said, "I want to be treated here since Greece doesn’t have a cure for my case.”After a period of time he applied for immigration to Germany to continue his treatment and because of the difficult conditions in Greece.
Mohamed added, "after a period of about four months, I received a response to the rejection of the request, which led me to appeal and to hire a lawyer to pursue my case. After 3 months of hiring my attorney I received a second rejection, although I had been given an appointment for my medical examination by “Al-Sosial.”
Qabia confirmed to the Action Group that “before the medical examination started, the German police broke into the room, which he lives in in "Al-Haem" - the refugee camp. He told me without warning that I have a deportation and I was deported to Greece on 25-10-2016.”
About his injury in the Yarmouk refugee camp for Palestinian refugees in the south of Damascus, activist Abu Al-Abed Qabia said that his son was wounded in the second month of 2013 after the fall of a surface-to-surface missile on the camp. Then another missile hit the area where he was in the rescue team. When he heard the sound of the rocket, he ran in the direction it fell with the young man “Bassam Hemedi” who died due to it. Mohamed was injured in his right arm and taken to Palestine Hospital.
Abu al-Majd added to the Action Group that because of the hospital's inability to treat his son, he was transferred to Al-Hajar Al-Aswad Hospital, where they were told that there is no hope in his hand and that it must be amputated. After his rejection he underwent an operation in Palestine Hospital.
Because of the lack of facilities, we were able to take him to the Jaffa hospital in the capital Damascus, where he had several surgeries. However, doctors have confirmed its treatment outside the country.
Abu Majd says that "under his son's need to complete the treatment he stopped his studies at Damascus University and traveled to Turkey by smuggling on a perilous journey by booking for several days with the Kurdish groups before being released. He was able to enter Turkey in the third month of 2016 and two months later he left on one of the "death boats" to Greece.
German authorities re-activated the Dublin agreement after it was suspended for in the year 2011. Every person who applies for immigration on the way to the European countries of asylum and the country maintains their fingerprint, must return to it after its approval.
