Denmark: Protect Syrians at risk of return

[Tilly lavenas]

Dear Friends

Please send this letter or in your own words to the immigration minister. The Danish government is stripping Syrian refugees of their residency permits, saying it's safe for them to go home. Thanks! Tilly & Guy

Mr. Mattias Tesfaye
Minister of Immigration and Integration

Dear Mr Tesfaye,
 
Please do not revoke the residency permits of Syrian refugees.
 
Hostilities may have stopped in certain areas of Syria but that doesn’t mean people can go back safely. Civilians in Syria, including refugees who’ve returned, are at risk of serious human rights violations, such as arbitrary detention, torture and enforced disappearance.
 
I urge you to continue to protect all Syrians living in Denmark, including those who have temporary residency permits.
 
Yours sincerely,

Please send a copy to the ambassador in your country
