1 \ Syrians deported by #Lebanon have been arrested at home. A
new policy forcibly returns thousands. There is no due process. @hrw hrw.org/news/2019/09/0… #Syria
2 \ Lebanon is putting Syrians at grave risk by returning them to the country they fled and handing them over to a government that is responsible for mass atrocities. @lamamfakih
3 \ Lebanon is legally obligated to allow people to challenge their deportation and argue for protection. And it is forbidden by law to return anyone to face persecution or torture.
4 \ Other countries should step up resettlement programs and aid to ensure that Lebanon is not bearing the burden of hosting such a huge refugee population alone.
5 \ However, there is no excuse for Lebanese authorities to violate international obligations and put people in harm’s way.
