Support and protection for Anas Al Mustafà. Letter sent to Ms Alice Mogwe (President FIDH - International Federation for Human Rights) - 02/12/2020

 

Letter text:

Dear President,

I am writing to you at this time to seek your assistance in the situation of Anas Al Mustafà.

Mr. Anas Al Mustafà, a refugee in Turkey, has been a volunteer in Konya since 2016 to help Syrian refugee families fleeing the war who make it to Turkey.

Mr. Anas Al Mustafà started the “A friend Indeed” Non-Profit Association and assisted more than 175 very poor families and about 400 orphaned children. Anas has collaborated with the Italian organizations “Crescere insieme” and “Mani di Pace” as well as with the Romanian organization “Help and care trust”.

On May 15, 2020, the Turkish police broke into his home. Anas was arrested and could not defend himself from the charges. The policemen tore up the original Turkish document that legitimized him to reside in Konya and the photocopy of the Syrian one he kept in his wallet. The Turkish police jailers said he was being held in prison to check the regularity of the residence cards. One evening Anas and other Syrian prisoners were forcibly forced to sign a document. The Turkish police tore up all their documents and with a van they took Anas and the other prisoners to a Syrian prison in an isolation center in Idilib. For several months Anas was held captive in Syria but managed to escape.

I ask for support and protection for Anas Al Mustafà, who is currently in Turkey but risks a new arrest and deportation to Syria.

Thanking you in advance for your time on this important and urgent matter.

Yours sincerely.
