Austria continues the deportation of Syrians. On Thursday, a man who had committed crimes in this country was once again transferred to his homeland.

According to the Ministry of the Interior, the Syrian had served a prison sentence for property and violent crimes. According to official information, Austria is the only country that carries out deportations to Syria. Today's case is already the third.

Another Syrian deported to his country of origin

The European Court of Human Rights had temporarily intervened in the man's case and stopped the deportation in August. A week ago, the deportation stop was lifted again.

In a written statement, Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) emphasizes that the deportation of Syrians who have committed crimes will continue to be consistently implemented. Currently, deportations of criminals to Afghanistan are also being prepared.
