On September 15, Cypriot Interior Minister said that the EU should reassess whether Syria was safe to return so that asylum seekers could be deported or returned.

In this regard, Human Rights Watch quoted the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as saying that "conditions in Syria prevent it from supporting or facilitating the return of refugees."

Human Rights Watch indicated that the security services affiliated with the Damascus government are still practicing arbitrary detention, kidnapping, torture, and killing refugees who have returned to Syria.
