GENEVA, (PIC)– The Euro-mid observer for human rights and the council for European Palestinian relations (CEPR) issued recently a new report on the Palestinian and Syrian refugees fleeing the Syrian war titled, “Death boats: The journey of refugees from Syria to Europe in search of their dignity.”
They will present their report today, 19th of November, during a hearing at the European parliament in Strasbourg intended for discussing the treatment of Palestinian refugees in Europe and the failure of the Italian and Maltese authorities to save the lives of many fleeing refugees.
The report highlights the risky boat trips which the Palestinian and Syrian war refugees are forced to take across the mediterranean sea in an attempt to reach the Italian and Maltese territories and the resultant death of many of them, especially in the tragic sinking incident that took place last month.
The Euro-mid observer and the CEPR said in a joint statement that the hearing would be held at the invitation of the Euro-Palestine action group at the European parliament, affirming that the session would be chaired by European lawmaker David Martin, head of the group.
