Humanitarian workers said that the 2023 deportation wave is the most severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LAF summary expulsion of Syrian nationals violates Lebanese law, which mandates that deportations must be carried out through a judicial authority or, in special situations, by the General Director of General Security&#8217;s decision after evaluating the individual circumstances<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAccounts of torture of returnees and their forced military conscription into a bloody war that has killed and displaced hundreds of thousands show that Syria is not safe for returns,\u201d Ramzi Kaiss, Lebanon researcher at the HRW said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, people who were arrested told the HRW they were subjected to ill-treatment following their arrest, including beatings, threats, degrading treatment, and sexual harassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Emma Jamal<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) have summarily deported thousands of Syrians, including unaccompanied children, back to Syria between April and May 2023, Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported on Wednesday.
