Turkey deports 22 Syrian refugees to Idlib
IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – On Thursday, Turkish authorities deported 22 Syrian refugees, including women and children, to areas in Idlib, northwest Syria, via the Bab al-Hawa border crossing.
A source from the Bab al-Hawa crossing informed North Press that “Turkish authorities deported 22 Syrians through the crossing, including minors and four women, without informing their relatives residing in Turkey about the detention and deportation of their children.”
The Turkish authorities took their fingerprints and all their identification documents to prevent them from returning to Turkey permanently.
Turkish-held border crossings in northern Syria have been witnessing daily deportations of Syrian refugees as part of a systematic process by Turkish authorities against Syrians residing in Turkey.
