The Turkish police released Palestinian refugee Mohamed Marwan AlSukari, from Yarmouk Camp, one day after they detained him in Eskişehir province, in northwestern Turkey, on allegations that he did not carry a temporary protection kimlik visa.
A number of Palestinian refugees have been held in Turkish custody over similar allegations, pending their deportation to Idlib, north of Syria. Most of them curry UNRWA cards testifying to their Palestinianhood.
Activists and refugees’ families continue to call on the Palestinian Authority, the Palestine Embassy in Turkey, and all concerned authorities to take urgent action in order to protect Palestinian refugees from forced refoulement.
