These included six withdrawals of constitutional asylum, 268 revocations of refugee status under the Geneva Refugee Convention, 184 cases of subsidiary protection, and 94 deportation bans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In more than 16,000 cases, protection status remained unchanged, while an additional 20,428 reviews are still pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The figures indicate that, despite intensified political debate in Germany over Syria\u2019s post-Assad security landscape, authorities continue to regard the country as unsafe for return in the vast majority of cases involving Syrian nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said deportations have increased \u201csignificantly\u201d this year. Between January and October 2025, Germany deported around 19,538 people, roughly 20 percent more than during the same period in 2024 and substantially higher than in 2023, according to Interior Ministry data cited by German media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In parallel, Germany is expanding the use of third-country deportations. Under recently amended rules, rejected asylum seekers may be sent to countries with which they have no prior personal ties, easing restrictions that previously limited such measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Jwan Shekaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 German authorities announced on Wednesday that they completed 16,737 review procedures of Syrian asylum protections in 2025, revoking status in 552 cases, as Berlin tightens migration policy one year after the fall of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, .
