MOSCOW - In pre-war Syria, Safaa Al-Kurdi sold wedding dresses. Fed up with the conflict, the mother-of-three fled Damascus four years ago and sought asylum in Moscow. Now, Russia is saying she must go home.
The Russian stance is creating problems for Syrians here who are seeing their asylum requests rejected. Banned from working, they face the threat of arrest and deportation. According to the U.N. refugee agency, nearly 5.5 million Syrians have fled a war that has raged over seven years. “Most of them get rejected, and the ones that don’t are told: We warn you, this is the last time we will extend your documents, next year don’t come back,” said Yevgeny Yastrebov, a co-ordinator with the committee.“It’s a constant game of hide-and-seek you have to play with the government, which is not a fun thing to do if you have kids and you need to feed them,” he said.
