Nearly a year after the Danish Immigration Service decided to deport 21-year-old Syrian woman Sahar from Denmark, following the Danish government's assessment that Damascus and its surrounding countryside were safe, and after a year of waiting and several hours in the Refugee Council committee, the council decided to reinstate Sahar's residency. The committee based its decision on the assessment that Sahar was covered by the UN Refugee Convention and could not be returned to the Assad regime in Syria.

While awaiting the Refugee Council's decision, Sahar was separated from her mother and younger brother and placed in a deportation center. Forced to abandon her studies, the young woman endured prison-like conditions at the notorious Kaershovedgård deportation center, according to the organization Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, which describes the situation as inhumane.
This takes a year from a young woman's life, and according to the organization, more young Syrian women are being sent to centers.
They are being deported under the pretext that it is safe to return them to Syria, but they risk persecution, imprisonment, torture, rape, and death. It is worth noting that a report by the Danish Immigration Service issued on May 22 states that safety cannot be guaranteed upon return to Syria, according to the organization.
