An American report reveals that the regime is threatening Syrian refugee families in Germany.🔴 An American intelligence report revealed that the Syrian regime pressured the families of Syrian refugees in Germany, with the aim of preventing them from testifying against its crimes and the violations of its officers against Syrian civilians for a decade.The lengthy report published today, Saturday, by the US National Public Radio (NPR), stated that in conjunction with the trial of former security officer “Anwar Raslan” in Germany, the Assad regime deliberately put pressure on witnesses through their relatives residing in Syria.The report quoted a witness named “Hassan Mahmoud” as confirming that as the date of his testimony before the court approached, the regime’s security officers went to the city of Salamiyah to search for his brother, which the two brothers considered an explicit threat.He added that this prompted him to refrain from testifying until his brother was smuggled out of Syria with the help of the French Embassy in Beirut.In this context, Tobias Schneider, an expert on Syrian affairs at the Institute for International Policy in Berlin, stated in the report that the German authorities are aware that the Syrian government is closely monitoring Syrian refugees in Germany."If you read the annual reports of German domestic intelligence agencies, they are fully aware that this exists," he said, "but they simply do not have the means or ability to fight this matter meaningfully."Schneider also referred to an attack that took place in the city of Hamburg in 2019, and at that time panicked the Syrian refugees, as an anti-regime activist was found killed with an axe in his home.He considered that "Syrian activists understood that the killing was a message that the regime might target them in some way, even in Europe."It is noteworthy that about 800,000 Syrian refugees reside in Germany, most of whom arrived in the country between the summer of 2015 and the spring of 2016, and a large percentage of them are opponents of the Syrian regime, as they were forced to leave their country to escape the bombing that was targeting their cities and villages by the Syrian regime forces after a popular revolution against the regime Bashar al-Assad's rule, according to international human rights reports.
