“We are surprised the UN is involved in such activities in areas which are really not safe at all. The Syrian regime is not trustworthy. We can't trust the regime with these people. We think the UN in Syria is failing to properly inform Syrians of the situation and their activities in returning Syrians. The research shows a pattern with which the regime treats people coming back from Rukban. These people are not coming back to their homes, they're going to their death. The UN at this point in time have the responsibility to inform people that it is not safe to return, rather than facilitating their return. When you're left between two choices - of either staying in a camp and dying from starvation or cold, or going to Assad detention centres and dying under torture - they choose the lesser evil.”
