The Action Group’s correspondent reported that the Palestinian Liberation Army in Syria, forced dozens of young, Palestinian men from the Khan Al-Sheih camp, to enroll in the military service imposed by the Syrian regime on the Palestinians.
According to our correspondent, the residents went out in the main street of the Khan Al-Sheih camp, in the suburbs of Damascus, to say goodbye to their children. A state of pain and sadness prevailed, over the forcing of their children to enroll in the military service, as well as the fear of sending them to the fighting fronts with the Syrian regime forces.
Our reporter added that the first batch of the camp's residents, which included 20 men, arrived at the Palestine Liberation Army’s training camp, which is located in the town of Masyaf, in the south-west of Hama, 48 km away.
20 days ago, the Palestine Liberation Army’s detachment in Khan Al-Sheih camp had called in more than 150 men from the camp, and held their personal identification cards, as well as their flag service book, under the pretext that they have not enrolled in the compulsory service and with the aim of forcing them to join its ranks.
In the meantime, appeals and demands have reached the Action Group from a number of activists and residents of the camp, calling on the general staff of the Palestine Liberation Army, the Palestine Liberation Organization and the concerned parties, to not involve their children in the ongoing, Syrian conflict, and to not send them to the areas of tension.
Almost 6000 Palestinians are in the ranks of the Palestine Liberation Army, of whom 3 thousand are engaged in combat, in more than 15 locations across Syria, according to the army’s command.
It is noteworthy that the Syrian regime continues to force the Palestinian refugees in Syria to join the military service in the Palestine Liberation Army. Those who fail to enroll are subjected to imprisonment, which has pushed thousands of young men to flee the country.
