The Danish Parliament votes to return Syrian refugees to Syria

On Thursday, the Danish parliament voted on what it called the safe return of Syrians to their country. 

62 members of the Danish Parliament declared their support for the resolution, while 32 others voted against it.

The Danish government’s decision to revoke residency and deportation has affected dozens of Syrian refugees, most of them from Damascus.

The Ministry of Immigration said that 900 people who came from Damascus Governorate will be re-evaluated by the Immigration Department, and it is expected that most of these 900 cases will be decided during this year 2021.

The government justified its decision that it was legally based on the absence of the reasons for these refugees’ asylum, and this reason is limited to the “Islamic State” organization, which was a threat to them in their places of residence in Syria, as the threat of the organization receded in the last two years from Syria, even if this danger was not completely eliminated.

Second, according to the decision, the decision is based on the refugee owner signing a document pledging to return to his homeland in the event that the situation returns to normal.
