Leb Opposition Warns Cabinet against Handing Over Refugees to Syrian Regime
2012-04-10
[An Nahar] The March 14 forces warned the cabinet on Monday against handing over any Syrian refugees who entered the country to escape the Syrian regime's crackdown against protests, the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Seyassah reported.

According to sources the opposition will take all the necessary measures on the issue and will hold the government responsible for the repercussions of such a decision on Leb.

Movement MP Khaled Zahraman rejected handing over the Syrian refugees who have decamped the deadly crackdown by the regime on protestors as it violates the international treaties.

"If Leb responded to the Syrian regime's demands, then Prime Minister Najib Miqati's cabinet will be the regime's accomplice in killing the Syrian people," Zahraman said.

He lashed out at ministers who described the Syrian refugees as "terrorists" during the last cabinet session.

Zahraman said that the government's failure to approve a request by Social Affairs Minister Wael Abou Faour to allocate LL100 million to provide more humanitarian assistance to the Syrian refugees is "shameful".
