“Our relatives disappeared at the Syrian border. They were taken to their deaths. No one has heard from them since,” says Umm Abed, a refugee in Ketermaya camp.
Abu Turki, a Syrian refugee in the same camp, confirms that those who returned to Syria faced an unknown future. “One of them had to join the army, the other was thrown in jail, and some of them made it to their village,” he says.
Abu Turki fears that he and his family might be forcibly deported: “Sometimes we cannot sleep all night because we are afraid that they will come and get us.”
Human rights organizations say that hundreds of people who crossed the border have returned to the arms of the regime, fleeing it.
According to Amnesty International, at least four refugees have been detained by Syrian intelligence in recent weeks after their arrival.
