Syrian Center for documenting Violation has appealed against the Egyptian security forces to release more than 40 Syrians detainees.
Syrians'
conditions in Egypt, either refugees or residents are going through serious
developments as many of them were harassed and the harassment reached to the
extent of arbitrary detention, without any specific charge, which happened two
days ago at” Al-Salam checkpoint” in Cairo.
At
that checkpoint, members of the Egyptian army arrested 44 Syrians as they
thought they were going to Rabaa Al-Adayewa Square to participate in the
protest there.
They
were taken to the police station in Al-Qubba region; one detainee managed to
contact his family and told them about the place of detention.
It
is reported that all the 44 detainees were put in a small room and were
threatened of deportation to Syria although no charge was given to them.
The
Violation Documentation Centre in Syria appealed to the UN High Commissioner
for refugees in Egypt to take its responsibilities and intervene to release the
detainees. The Centre also called to Egyptian human rights organizations to
assist in the release of them, in the same time taking into account the
enormous efforts made by Egyptians to help Syrians at this difficult time.
