The recent knife attack in Solingen by a Syrian man facing deportation has reignited the debate on whether Syrians convicted of crimes in Germany should be sent back to Syria. The country is currently divided into four regions controlled by different entities, with none considered safe for returnees.
Assad-controlled areas remain under a repressive regime, with forced disappearances and torture being common. HTS reigns over parts of northwest Syria, where life-threatening resistance can occur. Turkey and Kurdish forces control other regions, with reports of human rights abuses and political repression.
With no safe havens in Syria, the question of deportation remains contentious. The situation is further complicated by the involvement of extremist groups and foreign powers, making it dangerous for Syrians to return. The ongoing conflicts and human rights violations paint a grim picture of the country’s stability.
As debates and concerns about deportation continue, the safety and well-being of Syrians in Germany remain uncertain, calling for a deeper reevaluation of the policy.
