A total of 270 out of 792 Syrians have had their case rejected by the Danish Immigration Service.
This is despite the fact that the Danish authorities consider that it is generally safe for Syrians to return to the provinces of Damascus and Rif Damascus.
Thus, 34 percent of the cases processed ended in rejection.
A total of 86 cases went on to the Refugee Board. Here, 35 had their refusal to stay changed from the Danish Immigration Service and thus received a residence permit. 12 cases have been rejected for re-processing by the Danish Immigration Service.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Integration Mattias Tesfaye (S) believes that the figures support Denmark providing protection to those who need it.
– The majority of the people who come here still get their residence permit extended, and it is not realistic to imagine that all Syrians who have come here will have to travel – far from it, he says.
The Danish Immigration Service’s assessment of security conditions created debate in Denmark, because it basically gave the agency the opportunity to withdraw the residence permits for some of the Syrians who have been granted asylum in Denmark.
If your case is taken up by the Refugee Board, it is not only the country’s general security conditions that form the basis for the board’s decision.
The risk of personal persecution or abuse by, for example, the Syrian authorities is also included in the board’s deliberations.
