The Palestinian Syrian and Syrian refugees, who are detained at Karmouz prison in Egypt, renewed their appeal to the UN, the Human Rights Organizations, the PLO, and the Palestinian faction to intervene for their release and for alleviating their suffering. The detainees also demanded the Palestinian Ambassador to visit them and inspect their miserable conditions and to secure their humanitarian needs, as well as to intervene with the Egyptian authorities for their release as soon as possible.
It worth mentioning that the Egyptian authorities arrested 56 Palestinian refugees from Syria after arresting them while trying to reach Italy through the Turkish shores on 25th of December 2014.
The refugees were victims of a scam by the smugglers who left them in an island off the Egyptian shores, where they were arrested, as the Egyptian security released all Syrian detainees and kept detaining 56 Palestinians, after all surrounding countries refused to receive them, then the refugees were asked to choose either to return back to Syria or to stay in prison.
