Press conference in Istanbul calling for the protection of Syrian refugees
71 Syrian and Turkish human rights organizations have called for the protection of Syrian refugees residing in Turkey, and the halting of the increasing hate speech and racism against them there, after many racist groups attacked their workplaces and homes and the increasing number of killings against them during the last period.
The organizations held a press conference in Istanbul, to draw attention to the hostile feelings towards the Syrian refugees in Turkey and to show solidarity with them in the face of the attacks and crimes they have been subjected to in recent months.
The activist in human rights issues and Syrian refugees in Turkey, Taha Ghazi, said in a speech during the conference that “what we are witnessing today in terms of facts and attacks on refugees is nothing but the horrific result of the huge amount of misleading and false information and data about the Syrian refugee community, over the years.
