Pan-Arab Parliament Condemns 'inhumane' Treatment of Arab Refugees on Macedonian Border.
Pulbished on:
Cairo, 6 March 2016(Lana) The President of the Pan-Arab Parliament
Ahmed Al Jarawan has condemned what he called inhumane treatment and
harassment of Arab refugees, as a result of the closure of the
Macedonian border with Greece, which led to increase of tents pinned
by thousands of migrants around the town of Adomeni.
In a statement on Sunday, Al Jarawan expressed 'deep concern' over
the treatment of the refugees and the use by the Macedonian
authorities of tear gas, to prevent them crossing the border on way
to northern Europe.
The closure policy exercised by some European countries was a
'reversal of the rights guaranteed by the international convention of
refugees rights, and the EU legislations regarding protection of
refugees, Al Jarawan said.
He demanded regional and international organisations to put
protection of refugees on top of their agenda, as a test of world
humanity, and to accelerate solutions for the refugees, the displaced
and the homeless.
