Artikel über gewaltsame Übergriffe gegen syrische Geflüchtete in der Türkei. Gewalttätige Gruppen setzen Geschäfte und Wohnhäuser in Brand und verwüsten Autos und Motorräder. Viele Geflüchtete verlieren ihre Haupteinnahmequelle und sind nicht in der Lage, ihre Familien zu ernähren. Außerdem verhindert die Angst vor weiteren Angriffen, dass Schutzsuchende das Haus verlassen. Dies zeigt, dass die Türkei trotz der Einstufung als "Sicherer Drittstaat" durch den EU-Türkei-Deal nicht sicher ist. Lesen Sie mehr über die Situation der geflüchteten Familien in der Türkei.
Articles on violent attacks against Syrian refugees in Turkey. Violent groups set fire to business and houses and devastate cars and motorcycles. Many refugees lose their main source of income and are unable to feed their families. In addition, the fear of further attacks prevents protection seekers from leaving the house.

Violence against refugees in Turkey: "The children no longer dare to leave the house"

Since last Sunday, violent attacks against Syrian refugees in Turkey are increasing. These attacks not only led to the destruction of business, but also spread fear and uncertainty among those seeking protection. Especially in the city of Kayseri, in which migrants make about 5 percent of the population, the situation escalated. A video that is supposed to show the rape of a Turkish girl by a Syrian ensured far -reaching outrage, which led to violent riots of Turkish residents.

Numerous shops, houses, cars and motorcycles were devastated or set on fire, which were said to be Syrian citizens. As a result, many refugees have lost their main source of income and can no longer feed their families. Institutions that offer medical care, affordable food or advice from the protection seeking protection were also victims of vandalism. This has tightened the situation for refugee families considerably.

Joshua Hofert, spokesman for the board of Hommes, commented concerns about the escalation of violence against refugees in Turkey. He pointed out that there have also been similar riots in other provinces and that international media reports of at least seven dead. In addition, personal documents were made public by around three million Syrians registered in Turkey via a telegram channel, which could lead to further attacks on these people.

The targeted hatred reinforces the fears of the protection seekers. Parents are now avoiding public places such as parks in which their children have previously played with children of other nationalities. The children no longer dare to leave the house. The acts of violence in Turkey again show that anti -migration rhetoric leads to violence. The persecution of entire groups due to individual cases has terrible effects on children and their families. It becomes clear that refugees in Turkey are by no means safe, and the evaluating classification of Turkey as a "safe third country" at the framework of the EU-Turkey deal at risk.

The concern among the refugees in Turkey grows in the face of this increasing violence. The situation urgently requires measures to ensure the safety and well -being of those seeking protection.
