Jubilant Syrians flocked to London's Trafalgar Square to celebrate the ousting of former President Bashar al-Assad as they vowed to return home. Hundreds waved Syrian flags and lit green flares in emotional scenes of ecstasy.
Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick has called on ministers to ‘immediately’ begin deporting Syria ns asylum seekers in the wake of Assad’s fall.
‘We keep all country guidance relating to asylum claims kept under constant review so we can respond to emerging issues.’‘Many of the asylum claims of Syrian nationals will now be baseless,’ the Conservative frontbencher said. ‘The Government should be immediately facilitating the returns of Syrians here whose asylum claims are now groundless.’
Germany, France, Austria and several Nordic countries said on Monday they were also freezing all pending asylum requests from Syrians.
