More than 1,000 Syrians have withdrawn asylum applications in Cyprus, another 500 have returned home
- More than 1,000 Syrian nationals have withdrawn their applications for asylum or international protection because they intend to return to their homeland, while another 500 have already gone back, a Cypriot official said Friday.
- The Deputy Minister for Migration and International Protection Nicholas Ioannides stated that this development comes in the wake of the fall of the Assad government in Syria last month.
- New asylum applications in 2024 amounted to 6,769, a 41% drop from the previous year and about a third of those filed in 2022, according to Ioannides.
- The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Cyprus violated the right of two Syrian nationals to seek asylum after keeping them aboard a boat at sea for two days before sending them back to Lebanon.
