The Qatari authorities deported Palestinian refugee Muhannad Tawfiq Shaarawi to the U.A.E. after they held him in custody for days as he overstayed his visa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muhannad told AGPS that he had come under pressure by Qatari authorities while in custody. He later received a visa to the U.A.E., before Qatari authorities took his iris scans and fingerprints. He was deported and mistreated by airport officers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muhannad’s father has been left on his own in Qatar, where he has been receiving medical treatment at AlRumeila clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muhannad had entered Qatar last year after he received a grant from the Qatari Foreign Ministry through its embassy in Khartoum. Authorities turned down his appeals for visa renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Qatari authorities ordered him to leave the country and go back after obtaining a new visa. \u201cHow on earth can I do this? My situation is very complicated\u201d\u009d, said Muhannad sometime earlier. \u201cMy Palestinian-Authority-stamped passport and Syrian travel document do not enable me to freely enter and exit the country\u201d\u009d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, the refugee appealed to the Qatari government, Palestinian embassy, and international human rights organizations to pressurize the Qatari authorities to release him from custody, work out his legal situation and backtrack on his deportation to war-ravaged Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Syria remains unsafe for refugee returns. Arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance continue to be among the most urgent challenges to human rights in Syria with tens of thousands detained in prisons, primarily by the Syrian government. The release of detainees and the disclosure of the fate and location of those forcibly disappeared in Syria are urgent priorities for Syrians and Syrian civil society.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
