Human Rights Watch slammed Lebanon Tuesday for deporting back to Syria about 40 Palestinians who according to Lebanon’s security agencies were attempting to flee the country using forged documents. The watchdog also criticized strict restrictions placed by Lebanese authorities on Palestinians crossing over the land borders from Syria.

 

“The Lebanese government should urgently rescind its decision to bar Palestinians from Syria from entering Lebanon,” HRW said. HRW said Lebanon was turning people back without adequately considering the dangers they face. [Link]
