Future bloc MP Khaled Daher said in an interview published on Tuesday that setting up a refugee camp for Syrians has become a “necessity.”
“Future bloc MPs told former Prime Minister Saad Hariri about the tragic situation of the Syrian refugees in Lebanon, and agreed that creating a refugee camp for them has become a necessity,” Daher told As-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper.
The MP also said that “the government has been working on handing over the dissidents to the Syrian authorities, action which contradicts the international laws and the Human Rights Chart.”
According to UN estimates, more than 3,000 people have been killed in the crackdown on Syrian protesters who have been demonstrating against the Baath regime since mid-March. Thousands have fled to Lebanon.
Lebanon's political scene is split between supporters of Assad’s regime, led by Hezbollah, and the March 14 pro-Western camp.
