Asmaa is not the first Syrian Refugee who is threatened of deportation from Denmark.

I find this new study from @jusoorstudies as detailed as terrifying. Syria's death toll has crossed one million. Almost half the population is dead, imprisoned or displaced. Massive demographic changes.

jusoor.co/details/The%20… Syria's overall population as assumed in 2021 is 24m. Only 16m are still in Syria, divieded in around 9m in Regime-held areas, 4m in opposition-held areas and 3m in SDF-held areas. 8,8m are living in diaspora and refugee camps. 1 million have been either killed or disappeared.

Tragic story from Denmark. Syrian refugee Akram Bathiesh dies of a heart attack after receiving the decision of the Danish authorities to withdraw his residence permit and asylum status and give him a month to leave Denmark to Syria. Denmark claims areas like Damascus or regime-held territories in Syria are safe and therefore Syrians in Denmark who come from these areas have to go back. Syrians have been reporting for months about similar decisions from Danish authorities.
