A European human rights monitor has expressed grave concern over Denmark's decision to send 94 Syrian refugees back to Damascus, after declaring to the Syrian capital to be "no longer dangerous". Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor urged the Danish government to reconsider its residency permit judgment and reassess the conditions in Damascus and its countryside. In March, Denmark revoked the residency permits of 94 Syrian refugees living in the Scandinavian nation and deemed Damascus to be "no longer sufficiently dangerous to give grounds for international protection". In a statement the rights group pointed out that Syria is still witnessing war crimes, crimes against humanity and dire living conditions.
