Syrian families in Denmark fear being sent home
12.05.2021
Sabriya al-Fayyad is terrified of what the Syrian regime will do to her family if Denmark sends them – like hundreds of other Syrians – back to Damascus. "I'm scared of returning to Syria, of this regime that killed my husband and his brother," she tells journalists.
At the end of March, al-Fayyad and her two young daughters had their Danish residency permits revoked after the Danish authorities announced they now considered the Syrian capital "safe". Her two sons, who are old enough to be drafted into Syria's military, were allowed to stay in Denmark.
