Three Palestinian refugees sheltered in AlNeirab camp, in Aleppo, were arrested by the Syrian security forces. The motives for the arrest were not made clear.
Reporting from Aleppo, an AGPS correspondent said Bilal Omar Beshkar, Mohamed Mahmoud AlKhatib, and another young man from the Saman family boarded a car from the camp on way to Aleppo city center, before they were arrested by Syrian forces.
According to AGPS data, 98 Palestinian residents of AlNeirab refugee camp have been detained in Syrian jails, among a total of 1,788 Palestinian refugees.
In another development, AGPS documented a sharp nosedive in access to education for Palestinians sheltered in Daraa refugee camp, south of Syria.
Most of Daraa’s schools have been destroyed or put out of operation in the raging warfare as a result of heavy shelling using missiles and barrel bombs. A number of education facilities have also been turned into prisons or field hospitals, imperiling Palestinians’ academic careers.
