The Action Group revealed in its annual report for 2017 titled “Palestinians of Syria.. Between Promises and Restrictions,” which it issued in the beginning of last February, that the Syrian regime allowed the return of hundreds of the residents of Az Zababeyah town in the suburbs of Damascus, to their houses and properties, however, the population lived a constant fear because of the security grip imposed by the forces of the regime on the region and the demographic change. On 17th of February 2017, the Palestinian refugees assured that after the return of the displaced Palestinians and Syrians to their homes in Az Zababeyah in the suburbs of Damascus, they were surprised by the fact that families belonging to the Syrian regime were taking over their homes, pointing out that families are from the Shiite community.
The 146-page report indicated that the Palestinian refugees accused the Syrian regime and its loyal sectarian groups in the suburbs of Damascus, of the families loyal to it and the families of the regime’s fighters and housing them in homes owned by Palestinian and Syrian refugees. The refugees expressed their anger of the regime's exploitation of their displacement from the area four years ago and storming their homes.
The refugees said that the families that took over their homes refused to leave and said: “The regime is the decision maker and is responsible for the case,” while some returnees to the area were able to enter and forcibly share their homes with the families of the Syrian regime.
