Members of the Syrian regime continued to steal and loot the civilian houses in Yarmouk camp and the neighboring areas, which have fallen into the control of the regime since 21st of May, in a phenomenon that has become known as defamation.
On its part, media pages close to the Syrian regime published pictures showing its members while stealing Yarmouk camp and Al-Hajar Al-Aswad. According to the media outlet, dozens of vehicles carrying stolen items are still leaving to Damascus on a daily basis, through the Palestinian militias loyal to the regime and groups of the Fourth Division and the Republican Guard.
A Palestinian refugee from Yarmouk camp said: When he first visited his house, the regime allowed the residents to enter the camp and found the contents of his house. However, when he entered the camp again, his house was completely empty of furniture. He also found members of the Syrian regime removing the ceramic tiles from the kitchen, noting that when he requested that they leave the tiles, they hit him and threatened to kill him.
Many of the residents of Yarmouk camp confirmed to the Action Group that they were subjected to harassment and extortion by the members of the regime’s army at the checkpoints and the factions affiliated to it, where the members at the checkpoints threaten and harass the residents as they pass through the checkpoints and are forced to pay money to allow them to cross with their furniture and belongings outside the camp.
Media sources quoted eyewitnesses that if the required amounts are paid at the checkpoints, it is possible that the person who wants to transfer the furniture may be subjected to banditry by the desired officers and members, without any possibility of rejection, for the fear of arrest or summary execution. This happened to the child “Mahmoud Al-Bakr,” who was killed by the members of the regime on 25-05-2018 in cold blood, for attempting to ban them from taking the contents of his home in Al-Orouba Street in Yarmouk camp, in front of the eyes of some members of the General Command and the Fath Al-Intifada Movement, which are both loyal to the Syrian regime.
