A German official asks that several conditions be met before deporting any Syrians who prove dangerous to the country’s security
The new president of the Conference of German Interior Ministers, Thomas Strobel, said that the deportation of Syrians requires the issuance of a decision by the Federal Authority for Migration and Refugees to cancel the deportation ban, after lifting the ban on deportation to Syria.
The German official emphasized the need to fulfill many conditions first, before deporting any individual cases to Syria for those who prove dangerous to the country’s security, and pointed out that the second condition relates to the obligation to review and observe the European Convention on Human Rights in each case separately.
He pointed out that if the two previous conditions are met, then consideration should be given to the availability of safe Syrian areas that can be deported to, and considered that this constitutes “major obstacles to the deportation of rejected refugees to Syria, even after Germany stopped the comprehensive ban on deportation to the country that has been suffering from war for a decade ago.
Time ”.
The German Deputy Interior Minister, Stefan Mayer, has previously said that the decision to lift the ban on deporting Syrians is “necessary to secure citizens”, stressing that people who have committed crimes do not have “the right to stay in Germany” and “they must leave our country.”
And Germany decided last December to lift the general ban on deporting Syrians from Germany to their country.
In an exclusive interview conducted by “Deutsche Welle”, the Deputy Minister of the Interior and a member of Parliament for the conservative Christian Social Union, Stefan Mayer, considered the decision “necessary to ensure the safety of those living in Germany.”
In a joint statement, 48 human rights and civil organizations and institutions called on European governments, most notably the German and Danish governments, to reverse all decisions that violate the principle of non-refoulement, which would force refugees, directly or indirectly, to return to Syria.
