Greek border police illegally deporting Syrian refugees

Syrian refugees detained by Greek police last month say they were beaten and denied food and water during a 12-hour detention period.

“Mohammad”, a medical professional from the Syrian city of Hama, said he and five others sought the help of smugglers to get from Istanbul to Sweden via Greece last month. However, within hours of reaching Greece, they found themselves being beaten by border police, forced on to a boat and covertly returned to Turkish territory under cover of darkness.

“What we suffered there, it was like shaking hands with the devil,” he said from an apartment in central Istanbul.

“Some countries say they are ‘friends of Syria’. They are liars.”

Attempts by migrants to reach EU countries have resulted in hundreds of deaths in recent weeks.

ANHRI: The dignity of the Egyptians is more important than Tahrir square : Arabic Network For Human Rights Informations
►http://www.anhri.net/en/?p=3575

ANHRI said today that it is not acceptable any more to overlook the crimes of the autocratic ruling regime in Saudi Arabia and its persistence in wasting the dignity of the Egyptian workers over there. It has amounted to insulting thousands of Egyptian pilgrims as they were returning from the kingdom via Jeddah airport, where the stacked pilgrims where denied food and medicine. Several Saudi officials in the airport revealed their hostility towards the Egyptian revolution by saying “let the revolution do you any good” to some pilgrims.

A huge number of Egyptian pilgrims were surprised by the unjustified delay of the return flights of the Saudi airlines from Jeddah airport. The delay was coupled with ill-treatment and deliberate insults from the airport staff, prompting Khaled Al-Sherbiny, one of the pilgrims, to file complaint No. “7 for the year 2011” against the Saudi airlines following his 48 hours late return to Egypt, particularly because the disorganization in Jeddah airport did not include all pilgrims of other nationalities. As Al-Sherbini mentioned to some Egyptian newspapers, it was limited to the Egyptian pilgrims, which indicates that the rough behavior and practices of the Saudi officials, blessed by the political authority in Saudi Arabia, were at their minimum.
