“Fadel Abdul Ghany, the Syrian Network executive director, said: “People are afraid to go back because, even if they have documentation or access to civil registries to prove their ownership of a property, multiple laws have been passed that leave them with no rights, and in practice no compensation. The laws are being used as a carte blanche for the Syrian regime to take over all the strategic and important areas of Syria.”
He said the laws affect the families of the 500,000 Syrian civilians not yet registered as dead but mainly killed by the regime, 115,000 forcibly disappeared, as well as the 12.3 million people internally displaced within Syria or that have fled the country.”
