(Dagbladet): The Syrian intelligence officer Abdullrhman Altai (33) hunger strike at a hospital in Troms. Altai was an intelligence officer for the Assad regime in Syria. This week he received a final rejection of the asylum application, because both the UDI and UNE believes he can be linked to torture.
He has asked to be sent to Syria, but come out in practice neither there or out of Norway. Norway will not send him to Syria because he risks the death penalty or torture there, and he has not travel documents.
– There is a special case, but the situation in Syria and Iraq have been several cases where persons are excluded from refugee status but granted a temporary stay because it is dangerous for them to return to their home country, says Andreas Furuseth, senior legal advisor in Noah.
He says it is not in principle something in the way of sending someone back to a dangerous country if the person wishes it.
– The problem is usually rather what is practicable. Norwegian authorities provide such assistance to voluntary returns to southern Somalia, says Furuseth.
defector
Altai explained Norwegian authorities that he is a defector from the Syrian regime. He says he also considered an enemy of the IS, which controls large areas. But he says he has a decent relationship with the Free Syrian Army, which controls the other areas.
– Could it be possible for Norwegian authorities to send him to one of these areas?
– There is nothing in the way of it in theory, but it may be practically difficult. Norwegian authorities have no reason to to withhold one who wants to travel, but it must be done in a way that is workable, says Furuseth.
He says they are excluded from refugee status, but who remain in Norway because it is impossible to send them out in some cases granted residency on humanitarian grounds.
– It is possible to convert for example, someone has been separated from his family for a long time, and it is a difficult situation in their homeland.
Afraid family
33-year-old temporary stay in Norway, with restricted rights. The wife and two small children his remains in Syria, and he is not allowed to bring them here.
– Norwegian authorities can not send him to the homeland Syria while he was there risking severe reactions in violation of our international human rights obligations, wrote Deputy Ketil Larsen UNE in an e-mail to Dagbladet before the weekend.
33-year old is he afraid of his wife and two children who are still in Syria and wants to go to them to get them out of the country.
– This is a political decision. I have not done anything wrong. If Norwegian authorities have anything against me, so they must say so. They must say that I am a criminal or that I am lying. I have just told the truth. They let me wait a year and a half. So I got rejected. And then I can not go from the country, he noted.
