The AGPS issued a report entitled “the Detained Palestinian Syrian Refugees in Egypt … Victims of Fraud, Extortion and Procrastination”
The report explains the situation of the Palestinians of Syria who came out of Mersin marine city in Turkey on 25th of October 2014 in a boat with a view of illegal immigration towards the Italian shores, but they found themselves in front of an island and were forced to get off it by force of arms and threats. They discovered later that they are in Egyptian territorial water in front of Alexandria so they appealed the Egyptian Coast Guards to rescue them. The Egyptian Authorities detained them in Karmouz Police Station in charges of illegal entry to the Egyptian territories.
The report also sheds light on the cause and the circumstances that brought the Palestinians of Syria refugees to this fate by documenting their testimony that they said about their journey since their departure from Syria to Turkey until the moment of their arrest by the Egyptian Coast Guards, and what they suffered of pain and risks while travelling and being into the sea.
As the report monitored the status of the official and private interaction with the detainees and the appeals that were launched by a number of activists and human rights activists in order to release the refugees and find a solution to ensure their access to any European country to accept their reception.
Finally, the report shows the Palestinian Authority’s inability and the carelessness of the international community towards the calls and appeals of civil society and civil institutions and the failure to secure the required protection to the refugees, that will lead to lose the Palestinian right. From the raging conflict hell and the cellars of prisons and detention centers in Syria to the Arab brothers and friend countries prisons, where human dignity is forgotten and the slogans fall that have been found in the writings of theorists and scholars of international law.
