Syrian Ambassador: Deportation of Syrians ‘Reassuring’

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syria’s Ambassador Ali Abdul Karim Ali lauded on Friday the Lebanese General Security’s deportation of 14 Syrians, describing the move as “reassuring.”

Following talks with former Premier Salim Hoss in Beirut’s Aisha Bakkar district, Ali said: “The General Security’s move came in line with international standards.”

The deported Syrians were wanted for common law not political offences, he said.

The ambassador criticized the “panic” that erupted after the deportation, saying “on the contrary this is reassuring and we hope that agreements signed between the two countries would be respected.”

On Thursday, Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat slammed General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim for deporting the 14 men despite fears of prosecution.

The issue was also discussed during a cabinet session that witnessed heated talks among the ministers.

According to Human Rights Watch, some of the deportees had expressed fears of persecution on their return.
