Access Center for Human Rights (ACHR) and the Cedar Center for Legal Studies (CCLS) strongly condemn the human rights violations committed against Syrian returnees by Lebanese General Security (GSO) at the Syrian Lebanese border. In two separate cases, the returnees were subjected to human rights violations.

It maintains a non-religious and non-sectarian stance and remains independent of any political affiliation. Access Center advocates for the collective and individual rights of refugees by investigating and highlighting the numerous violations of international law they suffer.
