Description: "The 44-page report is based on interviews with more than 30 people affected by the non-admission policy. Human Rights Watch also documented Jordan's withdrawal of Jordanian citizenship from some Palestinians who had lived in Syria for many years and who have been detained or deported to Syria without identity documents. Jordan's uncompromising treatment of Palestinians fleeing Syria contrasts with its treatment of Syrian nationals, at least 607,000 of whom have been accepted into the country since the beginning of the Syrian conflict Before the March 2011 uprising began, Syria was home to at least 520,000 Palestinian refugees"--Publisher's description.
Notes: "Nadim Houry, deputy director in the Middle East and North Africa division, Lama Fakih, researcher in the Middle East and North Africa division, Bill Frelick, Refugee Rights program director, and Tom Porteous, deputy program director, edited it."--P. 40.
