Palestinian refugee from Syria Redwan Ali Helal, aged 58, has been held in Turkish custody for over 40 days after he tried to illegally cross Turkish-Greek borders.
The refugee had taken shelter in Lebanon over the past five years, before he fled the tension-stricken country in search of a living.
As Turkey does not grant visas to Palestinian refugees with Syrian travel documents, he illegally crept into the borders, before he was caught by Turkish police. He was transferred from a prison in Pendik district to Edirne.
