Lebanon’s Armed Forces Accused of Summarily Deporting Syrians: A Humanitarian Concern

Lebanon, faces a humanitarian crisis as reports emerge of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) summarily deporting Syrian refugees without due process.

These allegations raise serious concerns about human rights violations and the safety of vulnerable populations seeking refuge from conflict and persecution.

Recent reports and testimonies from human rights organizations reveal a troubling trend of forced deportations by the LAF. Individuals, including women and children, are reportedly detained and expelled without proper legal procedures or access to asylum processes.

These summary deportations not only violate international law but also deny Syrians their basic rights, including the right to seek protection from persecution.

Many call out the Lebanese government and international partners to focus on enhancing protection mechanisms, establishing fair and efficient asylum procedures, strengthening legal frameworks, and promoting socio-economic integration for a more stable and harmonious future.
