After having fallen the Assad regime, the situation in Syria remains confusing and unstable. Nevertheless, Austria is currently preparing a first deportation in the Land of the Civil War. A 32-year-old man who has recently broadcast a seven-year prison sentence for various crimes is being hit.
For the first time in many years, Austria must be deported to Syria, reports the Ö1 Morning Journal on Monday. The 32-year-old would be the first Syrian citizen to be deported to his home country for at least ten years. Austria is partly one of the few EU countries that depart them all the way to Syria. The man was recently in a campaign while he tried to fight legally – without success.
Syria is considered a “non -secure country of origin”
The European Court of Human Human Rights no longer exists in the specific case. This means that there are no worries about European legislation, because it is not assumed that the person is in danger in their home country. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) “did not stop here for this measure,” explains Lukas Ghleitner-Gertz lawyer from Asylum Coordination Austria. Given the rapidly changing land situation in Syria, he expressed his concern. Because Syria still applies as a non-safe country of origin, Ghleitner-Gertz criticizes.
Austria has put asylum applications from Syrians on ice
The new rulers, who had reversed the old dictator Bashar al-Assad, strive to build a functioning government and are looking for contact with the West. However, the situation in Syria remains confusing. According to Ghleitner-Gertz, the situation on the spot is so opaque that this had a direct impact on asylum procedures in Austria. After the change of power, all procedures were temporarily stopped by Syrian citizens. The authorities pointed out that there was no reliable information about the security situation in Syria. A well -founded investigation of the asylum applications was not possible under these circumstances.
The planned deportation to ORF was neither confirmed or denied from the Ministry of the Interior. In any case, Syria has agreed to resume the man. The 32-year-old received a refiscal certificate, but today leaked.
“Human rights are not a beauty match”
The background of the Syrian’s seven -year prison sentence is well known, but for safety reasons it must not be made public for the time being. It is unclear which information Syrian authorities is already available – and what consequences the man can threaten if they become known. “Human rights are not a beauty competition. We cannot currently say whether this person is being arrested or tortured. This is not currently being estimated,” explains asylum expert Ghleitner-Gertz.
Karner laid the foundation with a visit to Syria
The fact that Austria is preparing deportations for Syria has long been coming up. At the end of April, Minister of the Interior, Karner, traveled to Syria with his then German counterpart Nancy Faeser and spoke with the new rulers. “We could agree on concrete implementation steps in terms of the training of the security forces and return and deportation,” Karner said afterwards. It is not known whether human rights have also been discussed. The deportation was originally planned for today. If it does not take place, the man will remain in trouble for the time being. Syria should then issue a new home certificate.
EU deportations to Syria are currently absolutely unusual. A Eurostat statistics suggest that some dozens of people have been transferred to the country from Romania and Hungary in recent months. It is unclear whether they actually took place.
